Question

Last weekend Zach was paid $150 for painting for 6 hours. This weekend he painted for 10

hours. If his pay rate remains the same, how much should Zach be paid this weekend?

Answer 1

$250

Explanation:

We have to find out how much Zach pays each hour. To do this, we have to do 150/6 which is 25. Therefore, Zach pays 25 dollars each hour. Since we know that the pay rate stays the same, we can do 25x10 to figure out how much dollars Zach pays in 10 hours. The answer to that is 250.
