for 35 hours of work , you are paid 260.75 how much would you receive for 39 hours . round to nearest cent

Respuesta :

i am pretty sure the answer is 290.55
The way you would set this up is as follows:

[tex] \frac{35}{260.75}= \frac{39}{x} [/tex]

That's when you solve for x. 
Cross multiply 260.75 * 39, and you get 10,169.25
Now divide that by 35, and you get your answer, which is $290.55
