The rates are not equivalent. Avery earns $0.738 more per hour than Lusita.
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount earned for 8 hours babysitting = $85
Amount earned for 11 hours babysitting = $125
We will find the unit rate of both to see if the rates are equal or not.
8 hours = $85
1 hour = [tex]\frac{85}{8}[/tex]
1 hour = $10.625
11 hours = $125
1 hour = [tex]\frac{125}{11}[/tex]
1 hour = $11.363
Difference = 11.363 - 10.625 = $0.738
