during the summer addison babysits for kids in her neighborhood. the ratio of her earnings for a weekday to her earnings for a weekend is 3:4. if she is paid $42 on a weekday, how much does she earn for working on Saturday and Sunday
so its a matter of proportionality. A weekday is less payed than a weekend y 3:4 so if the payment for a weekday is 42, we have: 3:4 = 3(14):4(14) = 42:56 therefore, the wknd payment is $56
