During the summer, Patrick paints houses and Michelle works as a lifeguard. To show their earnings, Patrick makes a graph and Michelle makes a table. Who earns more money per hour, and by how much more?
Patrick, by $19.75
Patrick, by $6.25
Michelle, by $19.75
Michelle, by $6.25
To determine who earns more money per hour and by how much more, you’ll need to compare their hourly wages. You can find the hourly rate by dividing their total earnings by the number of hours worked.
1. Patrick’s Earnings: Look at the graph to find his total earnings and the hours worked.
2. Michelle’s Earnings: Refer to the table to find her total earnings and the hours worked.
Once you have both hourly rates, subtract the lower rate from the higher rate to find the difference.
For example:
– If Patrick earns $20 per hour and Michelle earns $15 per hour, then:
– Difference = $20 – $15 = $5
Repeat this process with the actual numbers from their earnings reports.
Check the exact values from the graph and table, and you’ll be able to find the correct answer. If you need more help with specific numbers or further details, feel free to ask!
