Question

In the first week of Georgia's job, she earned $125.25 for working 15 hours. During her second week, she earned $167.00 for working

20 hours. How much does she earn in dollars for each hour she works?

Answer 1

Georgia earns $8.35 per hour

Explanation:

$125.25 / 15 hours = $8.35

$167.00 / 20 hours = $8.35

You can also find how much Georgia makes an hour by:

15 hours + 20 hours = $125.25 + $167.00

OR...

15x + 20x = $125.25 +$167.00

35x = $292.25

x = $292.25 / 35

x = $8.35 earned per hour
