Question

Please help me solve this problem

Answer 1

Answer:

$180

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we can set up a proportion and solve.

You earn $45 for 7.5 hours of work, and you earn $ x for 30 hours of work

45/7.5=x/30

Cross multiply

45*30=7.5*x

1350=7.5x

To solve for x, we need to get x by itself. It is being multiplied by 7.5. To undo this, divide both sides by 7.5

1350/7.5=7.5x/7.5

180=x

So, for 30 hours of work, you would earn $180

Answer 2

Answer:

$180

Explanation:

Hours x rate (k) = amount paid
7.5 x k = 45
Divide to get k = 6
30 x 6 = 180

Hope this helps!
