Mathematics Question: Lisa Made $286 For 13 Hours Of Work
MATHEMATICS – In this article, we are going to answer the a question that starts off with “Lisa made $286 for 13 hours of work”.
First, if you convert that into Philippine pesos, then Lisa is probably living a comfortable life, earning more in less than 2 days worth of work than the majority of Filipinos.
However, that’s not important. But, with that initial rate, the question now is “At the same rate, how much would she make for 9 hours of work?”.
What we need to do is to find the hourly rate of Lisa. That would mean dividing the amount of money she received with the amount of hours she worked.
That would mean $286/13(hours of work). The answer would be $22/hour of work. This would be her hourly rate.
Afterward, since the question asks “at the same rate”, we simply need to multiply the hourly rate by “9” hours of work.
So, 22*9 = $198/hour of work.
Another simple way of looking at it is by making a ratio of money/hours worked like this:
