Allison and Amy Scott work 15 hours per week at separate jobs. Allison assists in a hospital for $5.25 per hour. Amy works in a restaurant for $3.10 per hour plus tips. Amy averages $38 in tips for the 15 hours. Who earns more each week?

Allsion earns $5.25 and hour for 15 hours, so multiply 5.25 * 15 to get her total, which is $78.75.

Amy earns $3.10 an hour for 15 hours so multiply 3.10 * 15 to get her total, which is $46.50 and she gets $38 in tips so add 46.50 + 38 for her grand total of $84.50.

Since Amy earns more each day, she would earn more each week too
