Answer 1

Rita will earn $60 more than Erin each week.

Explanation:

1. Determine earnings by hour.

The problem tells us how much each person earns per hour:

Erin: $7.50/hour

Rita: $9.00/hour

2. Determine the weekly earnings.

For Erin. If Erin earns $7.50 each hour, then each 40-hour workweek she'll earn:

$7.50 x 40= $300

Note. We pultiply by 40 because the workweek has 40 hours and Erin earns $7.50 each hour.

For Rita. If Rita earns $9.00 each hour, then each 40-hour workweek she'll earn:

$9.00 x 40= $360

3. Find the difference between the weekly earnings.

(Rita's weekly earnings) $360 - (Erin's weekly earnings) $300= $60.

Hence. Rita earns $60 more than Erin each week.
