well what are the rates?

bahrom7893 · Answer

There's a difference when I get paid $0.01 per hour vs $1 per hour vs $10 per hour

anonymous · Answer

Well, it would help if we have one of the rates

anonymous · Answer

Oh right sorry. rate a=$5/h rate b=$8/hr

bahrom7893 · Answer

80/5 = x hours
80/8 = y hours
The difference is: x-y hours

anonymous · Answer

so it would be 10 hours? :)

bahrom7893 · Answer

(80/5)-(80/8) = 16 - 10
How did you get 10 hours?
