Answer 1

Miranda. Because she earns $10 per hour while Tommy earns $8 per hour.

Explanation:

y = 10x <--- 10 is the amount she earns per every x, which is the number of hours she works.

Tommy's equation is y = 8x

Because if you plug in his values of time (x) and total cash earned (y) you get:

32=?4

Read the above ^ as " 32 = blank multiplied by four "

subtract both sides by four to find blank

Our blank equals 8, which is the amount Tommy makes per hour.
