(8 p / h) * "x" h = p (in dollars). _________________________________
in which: "h" = hours ; "p" = pay (in units of dollars); "x" = number of hours. _________________________________ In the equation, on the left hand side, the unit symbol "h" would "cancel out" to "1" ; and we would have: _________________________________ 8 p * x = _[total "p"]__
