Answer 1

$85

Explanation:

The question tells us:

Rachel earned $34 by working 4 hours. She wants to know how much can she earn if she works 10 hours?

First of all, we need to find her hourly rate (unit rate). Then we will multiply that with 10 to find her pay for 10 hours worth of work.

To find hourly rate, we have to divide her total income (34) by the number of hours she worked (4 hrs). Hence,

Hourly Rate =
`(34)/(4)=8.5`

Rachel earns $8.5 per hour.

So, in 10 hours, she will earn:

8.5 * 10 = $85
