Question

Gary’s salary varies directly as the number of days he works. If his salary for five days is $42.00, how much would it be for 12 days

Answer 1

Set a proportion which is 42/5 = x/12 cross multiply and divide by 5 which gives you $100.8 dollars

Answer 2

Answer:

$103.20

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out the answer first you will divide the total amount by 5

$42.00/5 = 8.60

Then what you will do is multiply the 8.60 by 12

8.60 x 12 = 103.20
