We will find the rate of Greg and Josh earning money that is the amount of money they receive per unit time (hour)

 

Since the trip is in 3 weeks,

Number of hours Josh worked = 3 weeks * (5 hours/week) = 15 hours

Number of hours Greg worked = 3 weeks * (8 hours/week) = 24 hours

 

Josh’s rate = $480/15 hrs = $32/hr

Greg’s rate = $480/24 hrs = $20/hr

 

Therefore

Josh makes $12/hr more than Greg
