Question

A business owner paid 6 workers a total of $1,800 to do some painting for him. At the same rate, how much would it cost him to hire 15 workers?

Answer 1

$4500

Explanation:

Since for every 6 workers it's $1800, we're gonna divide 1800 by 6 to find out how much it's for one worker.

1800 divided by 600 is 300

If you multiply $300 x 15 it is equal to 4500
