Question

Susan received $27 for 6 hours of work. Ricky received $14.25 for 3 hours of work. Which statement is true about their rates?

Answer 1

Hello Chamarionp, Susan received $27 for 6 hours so 27 / 6 = 4.50$ per hour,
Ricky received $14.25 for 3 hours of work so 14.25 / 3 = 4.75$ per hour.

Answer 2

Susan made $4.50 hourly. We can tell because $27/6 hours of work = $4.50
Ricky made $4.75 hourly. We can tell because 14.25/3 hours of work = $4.75

Ricky makes $0.25 more than Susan per hour.
