Question

Please help don't guess

Answer 1

So, just divide:

52.50 / 6 = 8.75

This means that she earns $8.75 an hour.

If this is her hourly salary, then multiply 8.75 x 11

8.75 x 11 = 96.25

So, if Paula works for 11 hours, she will earn $96.25!

Answer 2

Remark

I think you can only do this either as a 2 step question or as a proportion. The easiest way is the proportion.

Proportion

6 hours / 52.50 = 11/x Cross multiply

6*x = 52.50 * 11 Combine the factors on the right

6x = 577.5 Divide both sides by 6

6x/6 = 577.5/6

x = 96.25 Answer
