Answer:

The correct statement is (3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Jason's hourly pay rate as a camp counselor for the summer is:

J = $9 / hour.

The table representing Mia's pay as a lifeguard for the summer is as follows:

 Days             Hours worked             Amount paid

Tuesday                    6                            $52.50

Thursday                   8                            $70,00

Saturday                    5                            $43.75

Compute Mia's hourly rate for Tuesday: [tex]\frac{\$52.50}{6}=\$8.75[/tex]

Compute Mia's hourly rate for Thursday : [tex]\frac{\$70.00}{8}=\$8.75[/tex]

Compute Mia's hourly rate for Saturday: [tex]\frac{\$43.75}{5}=\$8.75[/tex]

Thus, Mia's hourly rate  as a lifeguard for the summer is,

M = $8.75 / hour

This implies that Jason's camp counselor job pays a higher hourly rate than Mia's lifeguard job.

Thus, the correct statement is (3).
