Question: April is deciding what kind of job she should take. She's deciding between jobs as a lab assistant (which will pay her $48 for 4 hours of work), a computer programmer (which will pay her $65 for 5 hours of work), and a reporter (which will pay her $69 for 6 hours of work). Which job should she take if she wants to earn the most money per hour?
Answer: computer programmer
Solution: The lab assistant job pays $48.00 ÷ 4 = $12.00 per hour. The computer programmer job pays $65.00 ÷ 5 = $13.00 per hour. The reporter job pays $69.00 ÷ 6 = $11.50 per hour. So, if April wants to earn the most money per hour, she should take the job as a computer programmer.
