Answer: 3 hours

Jessica=$8

Ciara= $4 + $12

8*3= $24

4*3= $12 +$12= $24

Because Ciara has an additional $12 fee, you have you add it on to her total.

Answer:

Answer are in bold below

Explanation:

Question: 1

Jessica = $8

Ciara = $12 + 4 $16

Now we times both values.

16 x 8 = $128

8 x 16 = $128

They would both need to work 8 hours ft=or the same money.

Question 2:

$8 x 5 = $40

$16 x 5 =$80

Jessica will be less expensive.
