Thinking about proportion can help here. First, let call X how much she earns.
So, Adita earns $9.40=1hr
then, x=18.5hrs Since these are proportional and equal to hours we could set them into a fraction that money earns equal to hours worked.
Hence;
$ 9.40 x = 1 h r 18.5 h r s to remove the denominators, we will multiply both sides of the equation by the denominators(cross multiply)
x ( $ 9.40 x ) 18.5 h r s = 18.5 h r s ( 1 h r 18.5 h r s ) x
$173.9hrs=x(hr) find x, x is how much she earns.
x=$173.9
