Ace does various odd jobs over the summer on one of his jobs he was paid $81 for a job he completed in nine hours. if he averages the same rate of pay for 26 more hours of work, what will his total earnings before the 35 hours he worked?

I need to show the work by writing in proportion.

He is making $9 an hour bc 81/9=9
9x26=$234
9x35=$315
after working 26 full hours he will have made a total of $234
total earnings:$315

I hope that is what you were looking for!
