To determine how much money Wallace and Summer made after 5 weeks, we can calculate their earnings separately.
Wallace's earnings:
- Hourly rate: $12
- Hours worked per week: 18
- Number of weeks: 5
Wallace's total earnings can be calculated as follows: \[ \text{Total earnings for Wallace} = \text{hourly rate} \times \text{hours per week} \times \text{number of weeks} = 12 \times 18 \times 5 \] Calculating this: \[ 12 \times 18 = 216 \] \[ 216 \times 5 = 1080 \] So, Wallace earned $1080.
Summer's earnings:
- Hourly rate: $9
- Hours worked per week: 21
- Number of weeks: 5
Summer's total earnings can be calculated as follows: \[ \text{Total earnings for Summer} = \text{hourly rate} \times \text{hours per week} \times \text{number of weeks} = 9 \times 21 \times 5 \] Calculating this: \[ 9 \times 21 = 189 \] \[ 189 \times 5 = 945 \] So, Summer earned $945.
Comparison:
- Wallace earned $1080.
- Summer earned $945.
Now, to determine how much more Wallace earned than Summer: \[ \text{Difference} = 1080 - 945 = 135 \]
Final Calculation: The question states to find \( E \), the total amount of the one who earns more. Therefore: \[ E = 1080 \]
Conclusion: The value of \( E \) is 1080 dollars, and Wallace earned more by 135 dollars.
The correct response from your options is: E = 1080 dollars, Wallace earned more by $135.
