Givens:
- Peter 3 hours every day.

Peter's daily earnings > Cindy's daily earnings
$13.50 > $9.00
On the other hand, if Cindy earns at least $14 per day, that means she earns $14/2 hours per day = $7 per hour, because she only works 2 hours each day. But, the problem says "at least", so the correct expression would be
