Question

for 35 hours of work , you are paid 260.75 how much would you receive for 39 hours . round to nearest cent

Answer 1

The way you would set this up is as follows:


`(35)/(260.75)= (39)/(x)`

That's when you solve for x.
Cross multiply 260.75 * 39, and you get 10,169.25
Now divide that by 35, and you get your answer, which is $290.55

Answer 2

i am pretty sure the answer is 290.55
