Answer 1

Answer:

Danielle earns $1.20 more than Mackenzie (per hour)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much money per hour each person earns, you would divide the earinings by the number of hours;

Danielle: $36.80/4 = $9.20 per hour

MackKenzie: $50.40/6 = $8.40 per hour

To find out how much extra Danielle earns, you would subtract 8.40 from 9.20;

9.40 - 8.20 = $1.20

Thus, Danielle earns $1.20 more than Mackenzie per hour.
