Question

Brandon made $47.00 in 4 hours. How much would he make in 11 hours?

Answer 1

129.25 since you divide 47/4 to get the amount he made each hour, which is 11.75, then take 11.75 and multiply that by 11 to get 129.25

Answer 2

Answer: $129.25

Explanation:

If he makes a constant amount of money per hour, then we can figure out how much money he gets per hour by simply dividing the amount of money he receives over the time it took. We get $47/4=$11+$3/4= $11.75 per hour.

Now since he works for 11 hours, we multiply the $11.75 per hour by the 11 hours and we get $11.75*11=$11*11+0.75*10+$0.75 (distribution) =$121+$7.50+$0.75=$129.25
