To find out how much you will make in 8 hours, you can use a proportion calculation.

Using the given information, we can set up a proportion:

42.50 (amount made in 5 hours) / 5 (number of hours) = x (amount made in 8 hours) / 8 (number of hours)

Cross-multiplying, we get:

42.50 * 8 = 5x

340 = 5x

Dividing both sides by 5, we find:

x = 340 / 5

x = 68

Therefore, you will make $68.00 in 8 hours.

The correct option is:

$68.00
