Question

Felipe made $184 for 8 hours of work. At the same rate, how much would he make for 18 hours of work?

Answer 1

The amount to be paid for 18 hours = $414

Step-by-step explanation

Let the amount to be paid for 18 hours be x dollars

184 dollars = 8 hours

x dollars = 18 hours

Since we are working with the same rate, we can write a mathematical relationship for this by cross multiplying

(8) (x) = (18) (184)

8x = 3312

Divide both sides by 8

(8x/8) = (3312/8)

x = 414 dollars

Hope this Helps!!!
