Question

Swan is earning $\$75$ per day by driving a car for five hours. How many dollars will he earn if he drives for $3$ hours?

• A. $\$45$
• B. $\$215$
• C. $\$75$
• D. $\$15$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\$45$

Swan is earning $\$75$ by driving for five hours.
He can earn $\$\frac{75}{5}$ in one hour.
That means he can earn $\$15$ in one hour.
If he drives for $3$ hours, then he will earn $3$ times more as compared to one hour.
So in $3$ hours, he will earn $=15\times 3=\$45$.
