Answer:

$137.50 for Liza with cents and 132 without any cents. $154 for marta wihtout cents and 165 dollars with cents. First try subtracting 137.50 from 165 and then try 154 subtract 132.

Explanation:

First you need to multiply 6 x 22 and you get your dollars! Then multiply 22 x 25 to get your cents. Also try to do it without any cents. Convert all your cents to dollars and add to your product. And multiply 7 x 22 to get the amount of dollars for marta and 50 x 22 to get the cents for marta. Also try it without cents like it could be right or wrong. Convert the cents to dollars. Lastly, subtract what marta got in 22 hours and liza got in 22 hours. Pick the closest answer.
