Question

During the summer, Tyler delivers packages and Miranda cares for animals on a farm. To show their earnings, Tyler makes a graph and Miranda makes a table. Which statement is true?

Answer 1

When Miranda works 5 hours instead of 4, her pay goes up by

$56.00 - 44.80 = $11.20

That is, Miranda is paid $11.20 for each hour she works.

The slope of Tyler's graph indicates he is paid $9.00 for each hour he works. Miranda's pay per hour is $11.20 - 9.00 = $2.20 more than Tyler's.

Miranda earns $2.20 more per hour than Tyler
