Answer 4

Okay, first we need to find out how much they make per week. Brahim earned $3000 in 6 weeks, so we need to divide 3000 by 6. This gives us 500. So, Brahim earns $500 a week. This cancels out C and D.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Both A and B give Amanda $357.14 a week. So we can't rule either one out by solving how much Amanda makes a week.

Answer 7

k

Answer 8

We can find out who makes more, though, because if Amanda worked for only 6 weeks like Brahim, she would have earned only2 $2,142.84 So, who do you think makes more money ?

Answer 9

brahim makes more?

Answer 10
