Answer:

She will earn $85 in 10 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Rachel earned $34 for 4 hours of work, we must divide the amount earned by the number of hours worked in order to find out her hourly rate and then multiply it by 10 to determine how much she would earn if she worked 10 hours.

$e = \frac{34}{4}*10\\e=85$
