Question

12. Joseph earns $262.50 for 35 h work. How much would he earn in 8 hours at the same rate of pay?​

Answer 1

The first step you would do is to find the unit rate. This is how much he earns per hour. To find that you divide how much he earns by the amount of time he worked. So 262.5/35= 7.5/1. Once you find his pay per hour, you multiply the pay by the amount of hours he would work. 7.5•8=60.

Therefore, if Joseph worked 8 hours with the same rate of pay, he would earn $60. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Explanation:

If Joseph earns 252.50 working 35 hours, that means his hourly rate is $7.50. If he works 8 hours, he will multiple the hourly rate, 7.50 x 8 = 60.
