For 3 hours, it takes #$315#, that is #($315)/3"per hour"=$105"/"hr#
For 5 hours, it takes #$525#, that is #($525)/5"per hour"=$105"/" hr#
It is then a linear equation

Per every hour, the DJ takes #$105#

#x" hours "=105x" dollars "#

Here, #105x=y#

If you book it for #1# hour

#1" hour " = 105 xx 1 "dollars"#
