Question

Amy works for 36 hours per week for 10 weeks during the summer, making $\$3000$. If she works for 30 weeks during the school year at the same rate of pay and needs to make another $\$3000$, how many hours per week must she work?

Answer 1

12

Explanation:

Since she only needs to make the same amount of money, if she works for 3 times as many weeks, she can work 3 times fewer hours per week, meaning she can work 1/6x36= 12 hours per week

Answer 2

12 hours

Explanation:

$3000 / 36hours / 10weeks = $8.33333333333

$3000 / 30weeks / $8.33333333333 = 12hours
