Answer
To determine how much more per hour Zane earns compared to Abrielle, we first need to calculate Zane's hourly wage based on the information provided in the table.Step 1: Calculate Zane's hourly wage.We can use any of the time and earnings pairs to calculate Zane's hourly wage. Let's use the first pair: 2 hours and
18.50 / 2 hours =
8 more per hour than Abrielle.If Zane earns
9.25 -
1.25 per hour, which is not a reasonable wage for a cashier at a grocery store.Option B: Zane earns
4.75 more per hour, then Abrielle's hourly wage would be
4.75 =
2.50 more per hour than Zane.If Abrielle earns
9.25 +
11.75 per hour.Option D: Abrielle earns
1.25 more per hour, then her hourly wage would be
1.25 = $10.50 per hour.Without knowing the exact hourly wage of Abrielle, we cannot determine the correct statement based solely on the information provided. However, we can eliminate Option A because it suggests an unreasonably low wage for Abrielle. Options B, C, and D are possible but without additional information about Abrielle's earnings, we cannot conclude which statement is true.Final Answer: The information provided is insufficient to determine which statement is true. More information about Abrielle's hourly wage is needed.
