Katya wants to earn $1500 this summer by doing yard work. She plans on working 125 hours over the summer.

A. Based on her plan, what is the rate, in dollars per hour, that Katya must charge customers for doing yard work to earn $1500 over the summer? Show or explain how you got your answer.

Katya also wants to enroll in a summer class at a local college. As a result, she will have to work 50 hours less than the total number of hours she had originally planned.

B. What is the rate, in dollars per hour, that Katya must charge customers for doing yard work to still earn $1500? Show or explain how you got your answer.

C. Write an equation that represents the relationship between x, the number of hours Katya will have to work, and y, the rate she must charge customers to earn $1500.

D. Explain how a change in x, the number of hours Katya will have to work, affects y, the rate she will have to charge customers to earn $1500, in your equation from part (c).
