80 total hours, 4000 dollars. That is 50 dollars an hour, right?
Seems like a lot of money to me.
This one I do not understand, can anyone help me?
Seems like a lot of money to me.
40/80 = 1/2 or 0.5
1/2 of 4,000 = $2,000
I'm sure you can finish this problem now.
First, let's find the total number of hours worked by all three people:
40 hours + 25 hours + 15 hours = 80 hours
Next, we can calculate the proportion of the money earned by each person:
Dan's proportion = (Dan's hours worked / Total hours worked) * Total money earned
Shelly's proportion = (Shelly's hours worked / Total hours worked) * Total money earned
Kirby's proportion = (Kirby's hours worked / Total hours worked) * Total money earned
Plugging the values into the formulas:
Dan's proportion = (40 hours / 80 hours) * $4000 = $2000
Shelly's proportion = (25 hours / 80 hours) * $4000 = $1250
Kirby's proportion = (15 hours / 80 hours) * $4000 = $750
Therefore, Dan should receive $2000, Shelly should receive $1250, and Kirby should receive $750.
