Question

Hailey earned $90 for working 12 hours. How much can she earn for working 29 hours

Answer 1

Hailey will earn $217.50 for working 29 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:
The rate of change is 7.5 (since 90 divided by 12 is 7.5)
The way I made sure that the rate of change was 7.5 is that I doubled the hours and money.
So I did 24 times 7.5 and it equaled 180 (so my rate of change is correct).
After I’ve known that my rate of change is correct, I answered the question.
I did 29 times 7.5 (the rate of change) and got $217.50
Hope I helped :)

Answer 2

She will make 217.50 for 29 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the rate per hour by dividing the money by the number of hours

90/12 =7.5 per hour

She makes 7.50 per hour

If she works 29 hours

Money = rate * hours

= 7.5 * 29

=217.50

She will make 217.50 for 29 hours
