Latoya made $306 for 17 hours of work.
At the same rate, how many hours would she have to work to make $ 162?
hours

9 hours of work

Step-by-step explanation:

306/17 = 18 per hour

so 162/18 = 9

9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can make a proportion and solve

She makes $306 for 17 hours of work,and she makes $162 for x hours of work

306/17=162/x

Cross multiply

306*x=17*162

306x=2754

Now we need to solve for x, by getting x by itself. x is being multiplied by 306; to undo this, divide both sides by 306

306x/306=2754/306

x=9

So, she needs to work 9 hours to make $162

the correct answer is the second option

actually your concept is wrong

step-by-step explanation:

150% of x =300

150x=300×100

x=(300×100)÷150

x=200
