Question

One week, Ellie earned $72.50 at her job when she worked for 5 hours. If she is paid

the same hourly wage, how many hours would she have to work the next week to earn
$232.00?

Answer 1

The corect answer is 16.

Explanation:

$ 72.50 per 5 hours = $14.50 per hour ....

because 72.50 ÷ 5 = 14.50

THEN

$232.00 ÷ $14.50 (in other words→23200 ÷ 1450) = 16

Thats it, I also needed help but after hours of consideration I got it.
