ok so for number 1, Gabe makes $13.50 an hour. This is because if you divide
![40.50 / 3 = 13.50](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/lqvztoj47ds5jlm6idtwgp2w2l2rltjd3j.png)
meaning that he makes 13.50 per hour.
for number 2, since Jordan makes $3 more, you add that to the 13.50 which gives you 16.50. so then you would multiply 16.50 by the number of hours he worked. for example if he worked 4 hours it would be
![16.50 * 4 = 66](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/c2j72nbv6l7f1zfp66eybs9zj7h1a4y3gg.png)
so he made $66 when he worked for 4 hours
