Final answer:

Lashonda would make $306 for 17 hours of work at the same rate of $18 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much Lashonda would make for 17 hours of work at the same rate, we need to calculate her rate of income per hour first. We divide the total income of $216 by the number of hours worked, which is 12:

$216 / 12 hours = $18/hour

So, Lashonda makes $18 per hour. Now, we can use this rate to find out how much she would make for 17 hours of work:

$18/hour x 17 hours = $306
