Question

7) Ron earns $37.00 in 6 hours cleaning

toad cages. Dobby earns $49.50 in 5 hours
of folding socks.
Who earns more per hour?
How much more do they make per hour?

Answer 1

Answer: Ron earns $37.00 in 6 hours, so his hourly wage is $6.17 per hour ($37.00 ÷ 6 hours = $6.17/hour).

Dobby earns $49.50 in 5 hours, so his hourly wage is $9.90 per hour ($49.50 ÷ 5 hours = $9.90/hour).

Therefore, Dobby earns more per hour than Ron does. Dobby’s hourly wage is $3.73 more than Ron’s hourly wage ($9.90 - $6.17 = $3.73/hour).

I hope that helps!
