To find out how much you will make in 8 hours, you can use the concept of proportionality.
You can set up a proportion by relating the amount of money earned to the number of hours worked:
Amount earned ÷ Hours worked = Amount earned ÷ Hours worked
$42.50 ÷ 5 = Amount earned in 8 hours ÷ 8
To solve for the unknown amount earned in 8 hours, you can cross-multiply:
42.50 × 8 = 5 × Amount earned in 8 hours
340 = 5 × Amount earned in 8 hours
Now divide both sides by 5 to find the unknown amount earned in 8 hours:
Amount earned in 8 hours = 340 ÷ 5
Amount earned in 8 hours = $<<340/5=68.00>>68.00
Therefore, you will make $68.00 in 8 hours.
The correct answer is $68.00.
