How much more does Chee earn per hour
than Angel?

Answer 1

Chee earns $20.80 more per hour than Angel.

To calculate this, we need to find the difference between Chee's earnings per hour and Angel's earnings per hour. We can do this by subtracting Angel's earnings per hour from Chee's earnings per hour.

Let's first find out how much Chee earns per hour:

Chee's earnings per hour = $534 / 35 hours = $15.00 per hour

Now, let's find out how much Angel earns per hour:

Angel's earnings per hour = $395.20 / 19 hours = $20.80 per hour

Now, let's subtract Angel's earnings per hour from Chee's earnings per hour to find the difference:

$15.00 - $20.80 = $5.80

So, Chee earns $5.80 more per hour than Angel.
