Work Done = 22 hours.
Amount paid = 132$
Amount per hour = 132 / 22 = 6$
Next week,
Work to be done = 15 hours.
Amount earned = 15 * 6 = 90$
The correct answer is B
Amount paid = 132$
Amount per hour = 132 / 22 = 6$
Next week,
Work to be done = 15 hours.
Amount earned = 15 * 6 = 90$
The correct answer is B

Since Lee's salary is proportional to the number of hours worked, we can solve this question using equivalent ratios.
We'll express the ratios in the form hours/salary
Let x = the salary corresponding to 15 hours of work.
So, we can write: 22/132 = 15/x
Cross multiply to get: 22x = (15)(132)
Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to get: 11x = (15)(66)
Divide both sides of the equation by 11 to get: x = (15)(6) = 90
Answer: B
