A group of students organized a car wash to raise money for a local charity. The students charged $5.00 for each car they washed. In 3 hours, they washed 12 cars. At that rate, how much money could they earn from washing cars for 9 hours?

Sagot :

The students will earn $180 by washing cars for 9 hours.

In 3 hours the students will earn...

$5 x 12 = $60

5 dollars x 12 cars = 60 dollars

So in 3 hours the group of students will earn $60

In 9 hours the students will earn...

$60 x 3 = $180

Since the students will earn $60 per every 3 hours, you multiply $60 with 3 because if you divide 9 hours by 3 hours you will get 3. The answer you get by multiplying 60 by 3 is 180. Therefore the students can earn $180 from washing cars.

I hope this helps!
