Answer 1

Vasquez pays a better salary.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount payed by Mr. Vasquez to Kristin for babysitting nine hours= $67.50

To find:

who pays Kristin a better salary?

Solution:

Step 1: Finding the amount paid by Carson for per hour.

For 6 hours=$40

so, for 1 hours =
`(40)/(6)`=6.667

Step 2: Finding the amount paid by Vasquez for per hour.

For 9 hours=$67.50

so, for 1 hours =
`(67.50)/(9)`=7.5

As payment by Vasquez is greater than Carson, Vasquez pays a better salary.
