Question

Greg earns $30 in 2 hours of work. His friend Ike earns $50 In 2.5 hours work. If both Greg and Ike work 10 hours on weekend, which statement is correct?
A. Ike will earn $50 more then Greg
B. Ile will earn $5 more than Greg
C. Greg will earn $50 more than Ike
D. Ike and Greg will earn the same amount
GPT 3.5
To compare their hourly rates, we divide the amount earned by the number of hours worked:

Greg's hourly rate: $30 ÷ 2 = $<<30/2=15>>15
Ike's hourly rate: $50 ÷ 2.5 = $<<50/2.5=20>>20

Since Ike's hourly rate is higher than Greg's, Ike will earn more than Greg for the same amount of hours worked. Therefore, option B is correct. Ile will earn $5 more than Greg.
