Answer 1

Comparing the two friends earning Montraie earns $ 0.5 per hour less than Serenity

Explanation:

The equation for the earning for Montraie is y = 19.2x

Using the equation in 38 hours Montraie will earn

y = 19.2 * 38

y = 729.6

This means that Montraie earns 19.2 per hour

For Serenity the earning per hour is solved

= 748.60 / 38

= 19.7

comparing both earnings

Serenity earning - Montaie earning

= 19.7 - 19.2

= 0.5
