Question

Lisa earns $40.80 for 4 working hours on the days that she works part-time. She earns $81.6 for 8 working hours that she works full-time. How much money does earn per hour?

Answer 1

ANSWER: 10.2

You could either divide 40.80 by 4 OR 81.6 by 8. BOTH would equal the dividend of 10.2.



It says she earns $81.6 for 8 working hours that she works full-time.

Diving 81.6 by 8 would equal 8 would equal the answer (10.2).


If you want to know why divide by 8? 8 = 8 working hours she works full-time.



Hope this helps! :)

Part Time Rate :
$40.80 ÷ 4 = $10.20
