To find out how much worker 2 will be paid for 4 weeks of work, we need to establish the proportional pay rate.
We can set up a proportion between worker 1's earnings and worker 2's pay to solve for worker 2's earnings.
The proportion is:
Worker 1's earnings / Worker 1's time = Worker 2's earnings / Worker 2's time
We know that worker 1 earned $114 in 3 weeks. Let's set this up in the proportion:
$114 / 3 weeks = Worker 2's earnings / 4 weeks
To find Worker 2's earnings, we can solve for it by cross-multiplying:
3 weeks * Worker 2's earnings = $114 * 4 weeks
Worker 2's earnings = ($114 * 4 weeks) / 3 weeks
Worker 2's earnings = $152
Therefore, worker 2 would be paid $152 for 4 weeks of work if they earned a proportional pay rate.
One worker earns 114$ in 3 weeks how would worker 2 be paid for 4 weeks of work if they earned a proportional pay rate
