Question

peter is paid k500.00 for the work in 18 hours. how much would he be paid if he had worked six hours

Answer 1

Given:

500 Kina for 18 hours of work

To determine the amount of payment if he had worked for 6 hours, we use ratio.

So,we let x be the amount of payment for 6 hours of work:

`\begin{gathered} \frac{500\text{ Kina}}{18\text{ hours}}=\frac{x}{6\text{ hours}} \\ \text{Simplify and rearrange} \\ x=(500(6))/(18) \\ \text{Calculate} \\ x=166.67\text{ Kina} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, he would be paid 166.67 Kina if he had worked for six hours.
