Answer 1

what do you think it is?

Answer 2

there are a couple of ways to do this...I will show you both
(1) Divide 42.50 by 5 and that is what he makes per hr
(2) Then multiply that answer by 8, and that will tell you how much he makes for 8 hrs.

another way is to set it up as a proportion
42.50/5 = x/8 -- now cross multiply and then solve for x

Both of these ways should get you the same answer
