Answer:

Aaron earns $1.3 per hour more than Peyton

Step-by-step explanation:

Aaron's income is represented by y=29.8x

x represents the number of hours worked

Given that Peyton earns 627 in 22 hours. We want to know how much Aaron earn in 22 hours. We then substitute 22 into the equation as x.

y = 29.8(22)

y = $655.6 in 22 hours

This means that Aaron earns $655.6 in 22 hours.

Therefore, Aaron earns 28.6 dollars more in 22 hours.

We want to know the rate per hour so we divide 28.6 by 22.

rate per hour = 28.6/22

rate per hour = $1.3

Therefore, Aaron earns $1.3 per hour more than Peyton.
