Question

Emmet, Whitney, and Yolanda all have summer jobs. Emmet earns $588 in 42 hours of work. Whitney earns $406 in 29 hours of work. Yolanda earns 14 per hour. Who earns the most money per hour?

Answer 1

Each person earns 14 dollars and hour , so they all earn equal amounts of money in an hour

Answer 2

Emmet = $588 in 42 hours
Whitney = $406 in 29 hours
Yolanda = $14 per hour

Emmet = 588/42 = $14 per hour
Whitney = 406/29 = $14 per hour
Yolanda = 14/1 = $14 per hour

Therefore they all earn the same amount..
