Question

Mary made $176 for 8 hours of work. At the same rate, how much would she make for 17 hours of work?​

Answer 1

Mary’s rate: $176/8hrs = $22per hr

To put this in another way, for every hour Mary works, she will be making $22.

To find out how much money she will earn working 17 hrs we need to multiply.

17hrs * $22 = $374

Answer 2

Answer: Mary makes $374 for 17 hours of work.

Explanation:

Begin by getting the hourly pay. Do this by dividing the amount they made by how many hours they worked:

$176 / 8 hours = $22 / hour

Now you know the hourly rate, multiply it by how many hours she would've worked:

$22 * 17 hours = $374 for 17 hours of work.
