Question

Tamekia and Marsha mow lawns during the summer to earn money. Tamekia determined that she can earn between $6.00 and $6.25 per hour. Marsha estimates that she earns between $7.50 and $8.00 per hour. About how much more money will Marsha earn than Tamekia if they each work 22 hours?

Answer 1

Answer:

On an average, she earns $35.5 than Tamekia.

Step-by-step explanation:

On an average, Tamekia earns $(6.00+6.25)/2 = 12.25/2 = $6.125 per hour and Marsha earns $(7.50+8.00)/2 = 15.50/2 = $7.75 per hour.

After 22 hours, Tamekia earns 22*6.125 = $134.75 whereas Marsha earns 22*7.75 = $170.5

Thus, on an average, Marsha earns $(170.5 - 134.75) = $35.5 than Tamekia.
