Question

One week, Tanisha earned $255.00 at her job when she worked for 17 hours. If she is paid the same hourly wage, how much would she make the next week if she worked 11 hours?

Answer 1

To find Tanisha's hourly wage, divide her total earnings by the number of hours worked: $255.00 / 17 hours = $<<255/17=15.00>>15.00/hour
If she earned $15.00/hour and worked for 11 hours, she would make: $15.00/hour * 11 hours = $<<15*11=165.00>>165.00. Answer: \boxed{165}.
