The classes at the middle school want to raise money. The sixth grade runs a bake sale for 55 hours and makes $170. The seventh grade sets up a dunking booth for 4 hours and makes $112. The eighth grade has a car wash and makes $192 in 6 hours. Which class has the highest rate for raising money?

Sixth grade/ 170÷55=$3.10
Seventh grade/112÷4=$28
Eight grade/192÷6=$32
Therefore 8th grade has the highest rate for making money.You divide the money earned by the number of hours worked.

The 8th grade does. All you do is divide each number by the amount of hours worked. So 6th grade 170/55 7th 112/4 and 8th 192/6
In the end its 6th= 3 dollars an hour 7th= 28 dolars an hour and 8th gets 32dollars an hour so they have the highest rate
