Question

One week, Paige earned $165.75 at her job when she worked for 13 hours. If she is paid the same hourly wage, how many hours would she have to work the next week to earn $318.75?

Answer 1

Answer: 25 hours

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Paige earned $165.75 at her job when she worked for 13 hours. This means that her hourly rate will be:

= $165.75 / 13

= $12.75.

The number of hours that she would have to work the next week to earn $318.75 will be:

= $318.75 / $12.75

= 25 hours
