An employee earns $255 for 15 hours of work. assuming he is paid by the hour, how much will he earn in 8 hours?

First divide 255 from 15 hours to get the amount he gets payed per hour

255/15 = 17 dollars per hour

Then multiply 17 to 8 hours to get the total for 8 hours

17 x 8 = 136

He makes $136 in 8 hours

hope this helps
