Answer:

Explanation:

'For 8 weeks, Melani will receive $600 and a computer.'. In other words, Melanie will receive $600 dollars each of the 8 weeks. 'After only 6 weeks of work, she would be entitled to the new computer but only an additional $150. '

8 take away 6 is 2 weeks, Melanie will receive only 2 weeks of an additional $150. And 6 weeks with no additional pay. $600 divided by 8 is $75, this is the amount she'll necessarily get for all of the 8 weeks.

600 divided by 8 is $75, to find out how much she made in 6 weeks we'll have to times 6 (representing 6 weeks) with $75, which equals $450.

That is in other words, $450, she earned in 6 weeks WITHOUT additional pay.

To calculate what she earned in ADDITIONAL pay we need to know how much she earned in 2 weeks. 2 (representing 2 weeks) times $75 is 150. Plus the additional $150 which will be divided up in 2 weeks is 75$. So she'll be earning `$150 each of the 2 weeks.

PS.....I'm not exactly clear of what the question is.
