Question

You work 40 hours a week at a factory and make $2.00 per piece you create. It takes you

1 hour to create 5 pieces, how much money do you make per week?
I have to show work for the problem.

Answer 1

$400

Explanation:

S x H = (1 x 5 x 2) x 40

S x H = (1 x 10) x 40

S x H = 10 x 40

S = 400

S = $400 H = 40

Answer 2

400

Explanation:

1 hour = 5 pieces • $2

1 hour = $10 bcas each piece you make is $2

40 hours = $400 because you get $10 per week

You earn $400 per week
