Marina · Answer 1

member A if 8 hours per week=8*6.15 = $49.2/week * 5 weeks = $246,

Member B: 10*5.85 = $58.5/week * 5 weeks = $292.5, that's enough

Member C: = $50.75/week * 5 weeks = $253.75, so not enough

Member D: $6.35/hour. 9*6.35 = $57.15/week * 5 weeks = $285.75, barely enough

So after doing the calculations, we see that members B and D will have enough money after 5 weeks
