Question

heathers weekly pay is directly proportional to the number of hours she works at the record store. her pay is $174 for 24 hours of work. find the amount of pay for 40 hours of work

Answer 1

First you must find how much she is making an hour. So to do that divide 174$ by 24hrs.

174 divided by 24 = 7.25

She makes 7.25$ an hour

Next you would multiply that by 40 to find out how much money she would have after working 40 hours.

7.25x40 = 290.

She makes 290$ for working 40 hours.
