Answer:

Dawn earns $9.75 per hour while Amy earns $10 per hour.

This information is important in comparing who is actually earning more than the other. Amy is earning $0.25 more than Dawn is earning. Thus, working for an extra 2 hours than Dawn made her earn $22.5 more than Dawn earned in a week.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can get the hourly work rate of Dawn and Amy by dividing their total earnings to the number of hours they worked.

Dawn = $97.50 ÷ 10 = $9.75
Amy = $120 ÷ 12 = $10

You can get the difference in hourly rate by subtracting Dawn's earning from Amy's earning.

$10 - $9.75 = $0.25

You can also get the difference in their weekly earnings by subtracting Dawn's total weekly earning from Amy's total weekly earning.

$120 - $97.50 = $22.5

the local hardware store wants to increase their inventory. Last year 15 electric screwdrivers cost them 300.how much would 45 s

Harman [31]

One way of doing this is to write the equation of ratios (15 screwdrivers / 45 screwdrivers) = ($300 / x). Solve this equation for x. To do this, you might try multiplying both sides of this equation by x to eliminate fractions.

Another way is to obtain the unit cost of each screwdriver and then multiply the result by 45 screwdrivers.
