Question

Teresa made $216 for 12 hours of work. At the same rate, how much would she make for 18 hours of work?

Answer 1

$324

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told from the question that Teresa made $216 for 12 hours of work. This is expresed as:

$216 = 12 hours

To get the amount Teresa will work for 18 hours, we can write;

x = 18 hours

Divide both equation and find x

216/x = 12/18

Cross multiply

12x = 216 * 18

12x = 3888

x = 3888/12

x = 324

Hence Teresa will make $324 for 18 hours of work
