Question
MY CHILD HAS ALGEBRA INPUT AND OUT PUT PROBLEMS. IT'S IN THE FORM OF A CHART. THE PROBLEMS READS "EVERY HOUR OF TRAINING RALSES THE SALARY BY HOW MANY DOLLARS? THEN THERE'S A BOX AND ON THE LEFT SIDE IT SAYS "HOURS OF TRAINING" AND ON THE RIGHT SIDE IT SAYS "MONTHLY SALARIES. THE BOX LOOKS LIKE THIS SOMEWHAT.HOURS OF  RAINING.AND UNDER THAT IT HAS THE NUMBER 10 AND ACROSS FORM THAT THE HEADING READS MONTHLY SALARY AND UNDER THAT IS THE NUMBER 1200. HOW DO WE FIND THE DOLLARS?

Answer
If I read it correctly, that means 10 hours of training resuts in $1200 increase in sales.
Thus, dividing the $1200 by 10 hours gives $120/(1 hour).

If you want, you can use Paint (or similar software that does drawings)
and save the files as .JPG, and then attach them as a supplement.
