8x=240
Where 8 is the amount of days, 240 is the total pay, and x represents the pay per day.
8x=240
—- ——
8 8
In this step, you are dividing both sides by 8 to isolate the x
x=30
Therefore, she was paid $30 each day. You can check this by inserting back into your equation.
8(30)=240
240=240
Hope this helps!
