Eva's earning in the next week is $205.04

Karla's earning in the next week is $221.32

They both can earn $426.36 in the next week.

Explanation:

Eva earns $9.32 per hour selling concessions at the movie theater.

Karla worked for 5 hours selling tickets at the movie theater and earned $50.30.

The earning per hour of Karla = Total earnings for 5 hours / 5

⇒ 50.30 / 5

⇒ 10.06

Therefore, Karla earns $10.06 per hour by selling tickets.

It is given that, they each work 22 hours next week.

Now, calculate their earnings for 22 hours :

Earning Eva could get for 22 hours of work= Eva's earning per hour ×22

⇒ 9.32 × 22

⇒ $205.04

Eva's earning in the next week is $205.04

Earning Karla could get for 22 hours of work= Karla's earning per hour ×22

⇒ 10.06 × 22

⇒ $221.32

Karla's earning in the next week is $221.32

The total earnings by both Eva and Karla in the next week= 205.04 + 221.32

⇒ 426.36 dollars.

They both can earn $426.36 in the next week.

Since the statements are not provided, select with statement is applicable from the above steps shown.
