Question

If age represents hours and w represents wages, how much more does Stephanie earn per hour? \( \text{Stephanie} = 10.50h \), \( \text{Marco} = 9h \)

a) $1.50
b) $2.50
c) $3.50
d) $4.50

Answer 1

Stephanie earns a) $1.50 more per hour compared to Marco.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how much more Stephanie earns per hour compared to Marco, we need to find the difference between their wages per hour. Stephanie earns $10.50 per hour (represented as 10.50h) and Marco earns $9 per hour (represented as 9h). So, the difference in their wages per hour is:

Stephanie's wage - Marco's wage = 10.50h - 9h = 1.50h

Therefore, Stephanie earns $1.50 more per hour compared to Marco.
