Question

You and two friends got jobs at stores in the mall. You earn $117.60

for 14 hours of work. Ty earns $148.50 in 18 hours. Kim earns $137.60 in 16 hours. Who has the highest pay rate in dollars per hour?
A) you all earn at the same rate.
B) kim
C) you
D ty

Answer 1

B she earns $8.60 an hour

Answer 2

Okay. So to find the rate paid per hour, you have to divide the amount made by the number of hours work, when you do that, here are the answers.

You: $8.40 per hour
Ty: $8.25 per hour
Kim: $8.60 per hour.

You don’t earn the same amount, so A is out. The amount of whole dollars are the same, but when you look at the tenths place, you see that Kim has the highest wage out of the three of you, because 6 is larger than 2 and 4. The answer is B: Kim.
