Answer:

$299

Explanation:

Make a proportion

He makes $184 for 8 hours of work, and $x for 13 hours of work

184/8=x/13

To solve, we need to get x by itself. To do this, multiply both sides by 13. We multiply because x is being divide by 13, and we want to do the opposite.

13(184/8)=(x/13)13

The 13s on the right will cancel, leaving us with

13(23)=x

299=x

So, he will earn $299 for 13 hours of work.
