Answer:

75% bigger

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x and the second be y.

So:

Average = \frac{x + y}{2}

And:

Average = (1 - 30\%) * x -----30% less than x

Substitute Average = (1 - 30\%) * x in Average = \frac{x + y}{2}

\frac{x + y}{2} = (1 - 30\%) * x

\frac{x + y}{2} = (1 - 0.30) * x

\frac{x + y}{2} = 0.70 * x

\frac{x + y}{2} = 0.70x

Cross multiply

x + y = 0.70x * 2

x + y = 1.40x

Collect like terms

1.40x - x = y

0.40x = y

Make x the subject

x = \frac{y}{0.40}

x = 2.50y

So, the average is:

Average = (1 - 30\%) * x

Average = (1 - 30\%) * 2.50y

Average =0.70 * 2.50y

Average =1.75y

Rewrite as:

Average =(1 + 0.75)y

Express as percentage

Average =(1 + 75\%)y

This means that the average is 75% bigger than the second number

Answer:

$180

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we can set up a proportion and solve.

You earn $45 for 7.5 hours of work, and you earn $ x for 30 hours of work

45/7.5=x/30

Cross multiply

45*30=7.5*x

1350=7.5x

To solve for x, we need to get x by itself. It is being multiplied by 7.5. To undo this, divide both sides by 7.5

1350/7.5=7.5x/7.5

180=x

So, for 30 hours of work, you would earn $180
