Question

Last week Christine worked 14 hours and earned $143.50. This week she is scheduled to work 10 hours. How much will she earn this week?

Answer 1

102.50$

Answer 2

(143.50/14)*10=$102.50

find the hourly rate (143.50/14) then multiply by the number of hours worked (143.50/14)*10.

Answer 3

when christine worked 14 hours divided by 143.50 = 10.25 per hour. If she works 10 hours x10.25=102.50

Answer 4

10/14*143.50 = $102.50

Answer 5

the working hours and the income are directly proportional (if one increases, the other one increases also) therefore we have:

14 hours = 143,5

10 hours = x ( the amount of money she will receive).

The formula says that x=(10*143,5)/14 (the diagonals in the formula over the remaining term). x= 1435/14 = 102,5.  Christine will receive only 102,50$ for the 10 hours that she will work. Good day!

Answer 6

=14/10=143.50

=143.50/14

=102.50

=$102.50

Answer 7

Hi,

14......143.50

----.=.-----------

10....... x

Cross-multiply to solve.

14x = 1435

x = 102.50

Christine will earn $102.50 for 10 hours. <==ANSWER

I hope that helps!! :-)

Answer 8

Think in ratios. She worked 14 hours initially and works only 10 hours this week. Thus she would only earn a similar fraction

10/14 x $143.50

= $102.50
