Hope that helped!
To calculate how much Alan will earn if he works 70 hours, we need to determine his hourly rate. We can do this by dividing the total amount he earned ($200) by the number of hours he worked (14).
Hourly rate = Total amount earned / Number of hours worked
Hourly rate = $200 / 14 = $14.29 (rounded to 2 decimal places)
Now that we know Alan's hourly rate, we can calculate his earnings for 70 hours.
Earnings = Hourly rate * Number of hours worked
Earnings = $14.29 * 70 = $1,000.30 (rounded to 2 decimal places)
Therefore, if Alan works 70 hours, he will earn approximately $1,000.30.
