To find out how much Mary would make for 9 hours of work at the same rate, we can set up a proportion:
11 hours of work = $242
9 hours of work = x (unknown amount)
11/9 = 242/x
Cross multiply:
11x = 9 * 242
11x = 2178
Divide by 11 to solve for x:
x = 2178 / 11
x = 198
Therefore, Mary would make $198 for 9 hours of work.
Mary made 242 for 11 hours of work.
At the same rate, how much would she make for 9 hours of work?
