if Barry earned 175 dollars.....................................14 hours ?dollars...........................................1 hour 175/14=12.50 Barry gets $12.50 per hour
We use direct proportion, where; X is the dollars earned per hour..therefore, X=1h $175=14h,we cross multiply X×14h=1h×$175,then we divide both as sides by 14h, X= 12.50. Therefore Barry earned $12.50 per hour
