Question

A man gets $312 for working 48 hours a week. how much does he get when he works 36 hours a week?

Answer 1

Answer:

assuming he is paid hourly?

312÷48= 6.50/hour

so, 6.50÷36= $234

Answer 2

Answer:

$234

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a proportion where x is the amount he gets working 36 hours

$\frac{312}{48}$ = $\frac{x}{36}$

Cross multiply and solve for x

48x = 11232

x = 234

So, when he works 36 hours a week, he will get paid $234
