Question

Deborah wants to buy her mother a gold ring that costs $200 for her birthday. She has exactly four weeks in which she can work and earn enough money to pay for the ring. If she can work for two hours everyday, which of these jobs will help her achieve her goal?

A: a house-cleaning job that pays $15 per week
B: a baby-sitting job that pays $7 per day
C: a waitress job that pays $4 per hour

Answer 1

Fun work - consider:
- housecleaning $15 per week X 4 weeks = $60 (not enough)
- baby-sitting for $7 a day X 28 days = $196 (pretty close, but are her two hours available enough to get the $7 per DAY?)
- waitressing for $4 an hr X 2 hours per day X 28 days = $224 - This is greater than $200 and does not have ambiguity - looks like the best job!
