Answer 1

Answer:

Option A, Shannon paid $ 7 per hour to labor than Joni

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount paid by Shannon = $339.50

Total cost of 3.5 hours of labor paid by Shannon =($339.50- $112)

Total cost of 3.5 hours of labor paid by Shannon = $227.5/3.5

Total cost of 1 hours of labor paid by Shannon  $65 per hour

Total amount paid by Joni = $455

Total cost of 2.5 hours of labor paid by Joni =  $455- $$310

Total cost of 1 hours of labor paid by Joni = $145/2.5

Total cost of 1 hours of labor paid by Joni = $ 58

Hence, Shannon paid $ 7 per hour to labor than Joni

Option A is correct
