Question

As a summer job, Randall Jui can work at the amusement park earning $8.75 an hour for 20 hours a week, or as a busboy in a restaurant. As a busboy, he would earn $8.00 per hour for the same 20-hour week. How much more would Randall earn at the amusement park than at the restaurant in one week?

Answer 1

The answer to this question is $15.00

Answer 2

Work at the Amusement Park:
$8.75 per hour for 20 hours a week
$8.75 * 20 = $175

Work at the Restaurant:
$8 per hour for 20 hours a week
$8 * 20 = $160

$175 - $160 = $15
So, Randall would earn $15 more at the amusement park than at the restaurant in one week.
