The amount of money a worker makes varies directly with the hourly rate of pay. Worker A earns $168 for an 8-hour period. Worker B earns the same hourly rate as Worker A but works for only 6 hours. What does Worker B earn?

Answer 1

Worker A earns $168 for an 8-hour period, so their hourly rate of pay is $168/8 = $<<168/8=21>>21 per hour.

Worker B also earns $21 per hour.

If Worker B works for 6 hours, then they will earn 6 * $21 = $<<6*21=126>>126 in total. Answer: \boxed{126}.
