2(.75) + 8 = 1.5 + 8 = 9.5
5(.75) + 8 = 3.75 + 8 = 11.75
10(.75) + 8 = 7.5 + 8 = 15.5
15(.75) + 8 = 11.25 + 8 = 19.25
20(.75) + 8 = 15 + 8 = 23

The number of units is x you just need to fill in the equation:

y=0.75(2)+8
y=1.50+8=$9.50/hour if they produce 2 units.

y=0.75(5)+8
y=3.75+8=$11.75/hour if they produce 4 units.

etc.
