Answer:

$162.00

Explanation:

Let's make a proportion.

He made $36 in 2 hours, and he will make $x in 9 hours.

money/hours=money/hours

36/2=x/9

Cross multiply

36*9=2*x

324=2x

Since we are trying to solve for x, we have to get x by itself. 2 and x are being multiplied. To undo this, divide both sides by2.

324/2=2x/2

162=x

So, he will make $162.00 for 9 hours
