heathers weekly pay is directly proportional to the number of hours she works at the record store. her pay is $174 for 24 hours of work. find the amount of pay for 40 hours of work. 
how do you solve this ?

Sagot :

Let,
the pay for 40 hours be "x",
Since the weekly pay is directly proportional to the number of hours she works at the record store, using ratio and proportion, we can write,
 
        [tex] \frac{x}{40} = \frac{174}{24} [/tex]
Using cross multiplication,
        [tex]x = \frac{174}{24}*40 [/tex]
 
        [tex]x = 290 [/tex]

So, the amount of pay for 40 hours of work is $290



Amount pay for 40 hours is $290

Given that;

Amount pay for 24 hours = $174

Find:

Amount pay for 40 hours

Computation:

Amount pay for 40 hours = Amount pay for 24 hours[40/24]

Amount pay for 40 hours = 174[40/24]

Amount pay for 40 hours = 174[1.6667]

Amount pay for 40 hours = $290
