Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • time = 22 hours
  • wage = 367.40
  • time2 = ?
  • desired wage2 = 584.50

Comment

This is a proportion. A proportion is 2 equal ratios. If you know 3 parts of a proportion, you can solve for the 4th.

Equation

wage/time = wage2/time2                   Substitute values.

Solution

367.40 /22 = 584,50 /x                        Cross multiply

367.40x = 22 *584.50                          Simplify the right

367.40x = 12859                                   Divide both sides by 367.40

x = 12859/367.40

x = 35

Answer

Genesis will have to work 35 hours.
