Since she wants to earn same hourly rate, we can use ratio, so we can know how much she should earn from working for ten hours.

geerky42 (geerky42):

Ratio of money earned to work hours

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

34:4

geerky42 (geerky42):

Yeah, and now she wants to work for ten hours, so denominator is now 10. We don't know numerator, so we use previous ratio. \(\dfrac{$~34}{4~hours}=\dfrac{$~x}{10~hours}\) From there, we can solve for x. Does that make sense?

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

I understand it now @geerky42 x=85
