To find the number of hours Paige would have to work the next week, we can set up a proportion. Let x be the number of hours she would have to work.
We can set up the proportion as follows:
165.75/13 = 318.75/x
Cross-multiplying, we get:
165.75x = 4133.75
Dividing both sides of the equation by 165.75, we get:
x = 25
Therefore, Paige would have to work 25 hours the next week to earn $318.75.
