Answer:

Carla

Explanation:

First we need to find the hourly rate for Annette

Take the dollars earned and divide by the number of hours

30/2 = 15 dollars per hour

Now we can find the hourly rate for Carla

96/6 =16 dollars per hour

Carla has the higher hourly rate since she earns more per hour
