Dalila earns $108.75 for working 15 hours as a holiday helper wrapping gifts. At this rate, how much money will she earn if she works 18 hours the next week? Explain.

Respuesta :

She will make $130.50 next week. If you find the unit rate which is 7.25 ( 108.75 divided by 15 equals 7.25) then you will come to the conclusion that she makes 7.25 an hour, 7.25 times 18 equals 130.5.

130.50 is the answer. divide 108.75 by 15. then you get the pay per hour. 18-15 is 3. so 7.25x3=21.75. add 108.75 and 21.75. good luck
