Norman received $60 for working 8 hours. At this rate, how much would receive for working 35 hours?
60/8 = 7.50 per hour
Multiply:
7.5 * 35 = ?
To find out how much Norman would receive for working 35 hours at the same rate, we can set up a proportion and solve for the unknown amount.
We know that Norman received $60 for working 8 hours. Let's call the unknown amount he would receive for working 35 hours "x".
Using the concept of proportionality, we can set up the following proportion:
8 hours / $60 = 35 hours / x
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and divide:
8x = 35 * $60
To calculate this, we multiply 35 by $60:
8x = $2,100
Now we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 8:
x = $2,100 / 8
Calculating this, we find:
x = $262.50
Therefore, if Norman works 35 hours at the same rate as before, he would receive $262.50.
