To find out how much Carlos would make for 17 hours of work, we can set up a proportion:
Rate of pay for 5 hours = $65
Rate of pay for 17 hours = x
(65 / 5) = (x / 17)
Cross-multiplying, we get:
5x = 65 * 17
5x = 1105
Dividing both sides by 5, we find:
x = 1105 / 5
x = 221
Therefore, Carlos would make $221 for 17 hours of work.
carlos made 65 for 5 hours of work.
At the same rate, how much would he make for 17 hours of work?
