Respuesta :

Answer:

Pamela: y = 20h

y = 20(40)= $800

John: y = 65p

y = 65(11)= $675

Step-by-step explanation:

Pamela earns more money. She is working by the hour.

John receives $65  for each student regardless of how many hour he tutors him

Answer: Pamela earns more in a week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pamela and John work as tutors at two different test prep companies. Pamela earns $20 per hour. If Pamela works 40 hours each week, then her total earnings for a week would be

40 × 20 = $800

John earns $65 per pupil. If John has 11 pupils, then his total earnings for a week would be

65 × 11 = $715

Since $800 is greater than $715, then it means that Pamela earns more in a week.
