Right. You're welcome.
To determine who makes more money per hour, we need to compare Tericho's earnings per hour ($8.80) to Janelle's earnings per hour.
To find Janelle's earnings per hour, we can use the given information from the table. We need to calculate the earning per hour for each case in the table and then compare it to Tericho's earnings.
First, let's determine Janelle's earnings per hour for each case in the table:
For 3 hours:
Janelle earns $25.50 in 3 hours. So, her earnings per hour would be $25.50 / 3 = $8.50 per hour.
For 7 hours:
Janelle earns $59.50 in 7 hours. So, her earnings per hour would be $59.50 / 7 = $8.50 per hour.
For 12 hours:
Janelle earns $102 in 12 hours. So, her earnings per hour would be $102 / 12 = $8.50 per hour.
For 20 hours:
Janelle earns $170 in 20 hours. So, her earnings per hour would be $170 / 20 = $8.50 per hour.
From the calculations above, we can see that Janelle earns $8.50 per hour, which is less than Tericho's earnings of $8.80 per hour.
To determine the difference in earnings per hour between Tericho and Janelle, we subtract Janelle's earning per hour from Tericho's earning per hour:
$8.80 - $8.50 = $0.30
Therefore, Tericho makes $0.30 more per hour than Janelle.
