Question

Teresa made $252 for 12 hours of work. At the same rate, how much would she make for 17 hours of work?

Answer 1

Given:

Amount earned, A=$252.

The number of hours of work, T=12.

The amount earned for one hour work is,

`E=(A)/(T)=(252)/(12)=21`

Now, the amount earned for t=17 hour work is,

`A^(\prime)^{^(\prime)}=E* t=21*17=357`

Therefore, Teresa would make $357 for 17 hour work.
