Question

Rachel earns $67.50 for working 9 hours at the dairy farm. How much does Rachel make per hour? How much would Rachel make if she works 5 hours a day for 6 days?

Answer 1

To find what she makes per hour, divide the amount she made by the time she spent. 67.50/9= 7.5 she makes 7.50 per hour. Then if she were to work for 5 hours a day, 7.5(5)=37.5. She makes 37.50 per day and multiply that by 6. She would make 225

Answer 2

$225

Explanation:

Frist, we need to figure out how much Rachel makes per hour. For 9 hours of work, she makes $67.50

67.5 / 9 = 7.5

Rachel makes $7.50 per hour

Now we can add up all the hours she worked.

5 hours a day for 6 days

5 x 6 = 30

She worked 30 hours at a rate of $7.50 per hour

7.5 x 30 = 225

She earned $225
