Question

Dylan makes $336 for 32 hours of work, and Angela makes $420 for 42 hours of work. How much do Dylan and Angela each make per hour?

Is Dylan's wage for 25 hours proportional to Angela's wage for 42 hours? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer: (first half) Dylan= $10.5 per hour

Angela$10 per hour

(second half) No because they have different rate as the one before

Explanation:

step one : divied how much money they make by the number of hours

Dylan

$336/32 hours = $10.5 per hour

Angela

$420/42 hours = $10 per hour

Step two: multiply the answer you got for Dylan by 25 hours and Angela by 42

Dylan

10.5 (25) = $262.5

Angela

10 (42)= 420

(Rates)

Dylan rate before = $336

Rate after solving = $262.5

Angela rate before = $420

Rate after solving = $420

i hope this helps ;)
