Answer 1

Answer:

A. Channing makes $8.55 an hour compared to Tyrell who only makes $8 an hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much Channing makes an hour, divide the amount earned ($42.75) by the hours he worked (5). So, 42.75/5=8.55 which is Channing's hourly wage. Tyrell's hourly wage was already given to us in the equation E=8h. 8 times his hours works= his earnings. 8.55>8.00
