Question

John made $20 for 2 hours of work. Sally made $50 for 4 hours of work. How do John and Sally's hourly pay rate compare?

Answer 1

John gets $10 per hour and Sally makes $12.50 per hour so Sally makes $2.50 more then John per hour.

We can tell John makes $10 per hour because we divid how much he made by the amount of hours it took to make to get 10 and we did the same thing for Sally ($50/4=12.5) and then we subtract Sally's pay per hour by John's pay per hour to see how much more Sally makes per hour.

I hope that helped and made sense. :)

Answer 2

20/2= 10

John makes 10 dollars an hour.


50/4= 12.5

Sally makes 12.50 dollars an hour.

Sally makes more than John.

I hope this helps!
