Question

After working for 25 hours, Lamar made $375. After working for 40, Lamar made $600. Predict how much he would make after 10 hours of work.

Answer 1

Answer:

$150

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: After working for 25 hours, Lamar made $375. After working for 40, Lamar made $600.

To Find: how much he would make after 10 hours of work.

Solution:

Money made by Lamar after working for $25\text{hours}=\ 375$

Money made by Lamar after working for $40\text{hours}=\ 600$

Money made by Lamar in $15\text{hours}=\text{Amount made by working for 40 hours}-\text{Amount made by working for 25 hours}$

                                            $\ 600-\ 375$

                                            $\ 225$

money made by Lamar by working for $15\text{hour}=\ 225$

money made by Lamar by working for $1\text{hour}=\frac{\text{Money made in 15 hours}}{\text{total time}}$

                                                       $\frac{\ 225}{15}$

                                                       $\ 15$

Therefore Money made by Lamar by working for $10\text{hour}=\text{money made by Lamar for working 1 hour}\times10\text{hour}$

                             $10\times15$

                             $\ 150$

Lamar would make $\ 150$ after $10$ hours of work

Answer 2

After 10 hours of work Lamar will make $150
