Given that worker A earns $9.50 per widget, and produces 7 widgets after 5 hiurs per day.
Worker B earns $8.80 per widget and produces 9 widgets per day having worked 8 hors per day.
Total amount that worker A earns per day is 9.50*7=$66.5
Total amount that worker B earns per day is 8.80*9=$79.2

amount earned by worker A per hour is:
66.5/5=13.3 $/hour
amount earned by B per hour is:
79.2/8=$9.9 $/hour

the correct statement is:
C] Worker B earns more per day than worker A but less per hour than worker A.
