Answer 2

Explanation:

To calculate the hourly wage for each worker, we need to divide their total earnings by the number of hours they worked:

Dillon's hourly wage = $41.50 ÷ 5 hours = $8.30 per hour

Samantha's hourly wage = $50.40 ÷ 6 hours = $8.40 per hour

Therefore, Samantha makes more money per hour than Dillon.
