Answer:

Earning for 1950- word article = $1170

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount paid for 1300 word article = $780

Ratio of words to money = 1300 : 780

Let,

x be the amount for 1950 words.

Ratio of words to money = 1950 : x

As the relationship is proportional

1300 : 780 :: 1950 : x

Product of mean = Product of extreme

780 * 1950 = 1300x

1300x = 1521000

Dividing both sides by 1300

[tex]\frac{1300x}[1300}=\frac{1521000}{1300}\\x=1170[/tex]

Hence,

Earning for 1950- word article = $1170
