To solve this, let’s break down the information provided in the image:
- The equation given is d = 9.5h, which represents how much Morgan earns after h hours. This suggests that Morgan’s earnings increase as the number of hours increases, at a rate of $9.50 per hour.
- Last week, Morgan worked on Friday and earned $63 for 6 hours. So, the hourly rate on Friday can be calculated by dividing $63 by 6 hours: Hourly rate on Friday=636=10.50 per hour\text{Hourly rate on Friday} = \frac{63}{6} = 10.50 \, \text{per hour}Hourly rate on Friday=663=10.50per hour
- On Saturday, we are given the formula d = 9.5h, which means for h hours worked, she earns $9.50 per hour.
Which statement is true?
Let’s evaluate the options:
- A. Morgan earns the same amount per hour on Friday and Saturday.
This is false, as we just calculated Morgan earns $10.50 per hour on Friday, while the equation shows $9.50 per hour on Saturday. - B. Morgan’s hourly rate on Friday is $12 per hour.
This is false because the hourly rate on Friday is $10.50, not $12. - C. Morgan earns more money per hour on Friday.
This is true. Morgan earns $10.50 per hour on Friday, which is higher than the $9.50 per hour she earns on Saturday. - D. Morgan earns more money per hour on Saturday.
This is false because Morgan earns $9.50 per hour on Saturday, which is less than the $10.50 she earns on Friday.
Thus, the correct answer is C: Morgan earns more money per hour on Friday
