A. $152
B. $342
C.$ 118
D.$38

1 answer

To find the amount worker 2 would be paid for weeks of work, we need to determine the pay rate of worker 1 and then apply it to worker 2.

The pay rate of worker 1 is found by dividing their earnings ($114) by the number of weeks worked (3): $114 รท 3 = $<<114/3=38>>38 per week.

Now, we can apply the pay rate of worker 1 to worker 2. If worker 2 works for x weeks, their pay would be x * $38.

Since we don't know the specific number of weeks for worker 2, we cannot determine the exact amount they would be paid. Therefore, the answer cannot be determined from the information given.
