Navin from Mauritius, Luka from Croatia, and Ian from Botswana are chatting in the lobby of a youth hostel discussing their part-time jobs. They learn that Navin makes 160 rupee per hour, Luka makes 25 kuna per hour, and Ian makes 34 pula per hour.

Question

Navin from Mauritius, Luka from Croatia, and Ian from Botswana are chatting in the lobby of a youth hostel discussing their part-time jobs. They learn that Navin makes 160 rupee per hour, Luka makes 25 kuna per hour, and Ian makes 34 pula per hour. If one US dollar is equivalent to 32.35 Mauritius rupee, 5.18 Croatian kuna, and 6.95 Botswana pula, who would earn the most after working an eight-hour day? .

Answer 1

compare the values after converting to a common unit. In this case that would probably be easiest if you choose the US$. So, just compare

160/32.35
25/5.18
34/6.95
and choose the largest

Answer 2

after i find the one,how do i know who it was

Answer 3

you're kidding, right?

I listed the amounts in the order named, so just look up at the question to see which person had those numbers!

I fear this class is not going to go well for you ...

Answer 4

To find out who would earn the most after working an eight-hour day, we need to convert the earnings of each person from their local currency to US dollars. Let's calculate their earnings:

1. Navin from Mauritius earns 160 rupees per hour. To convert this to US dollars, we'll use the exchange rate: 1 US dollar = 32.35 Mauritius rupee.
* Navin's hourly earnings in US dollars = 160 rupees / 32.35 Mauritius rupee per dollar = $4.95 per hour.
* Navin's total earnings for an eight-hour day = $4.95 per hour * 8 hours = $39.60.

2. Luka from Croatia earns 25 kuna per hour. To convert this to US dollars, we'll use the exchange rate: 1 US dollar = 5.18 Croatian kuna.
* Luka's hourly earnings in US dollars = 25 kuna / 5.18 Croatian kuna per dollar = $4.82 per hour.
* Luka's total earnings for an eight-hour day = $4.82 per hour * 8 hours = $38.56.

3. Ian from Botswana earns 34 pula per hour. To convert this to US dollars, we'll use the exchange rate: 1 US dollar = 6.95 Botswana pula.
* Ian's hourly earnings in US dollars = 34 pula / 6.95 Botswana pula per dollar = $4.89 per hour.
* Ian's total earnings for an eight-hour day = $4.89 per hour * 8 hours = $39.12.

Comparing the earnings of Navin, Luka, and Ian, we find that Navin would earn the most after working an eight-hour day with $39.60.
