- Graph the two tables on graph paper. (Or if you prefer, use your device or desmos to make a digital graph then screen clip it into your assignment)
- Which of these two jobs would you prefer to have based on this information and why? What are some other factors to consider when comparing the two jobs?
I would pick the subway job because first off because it has a better pay and second off you get tips if people are lucky. Some of the factors to compare are the price and hours.
6. You want to save $1,000. Pick one of the jobs. State how many hours a week you could work while going to school. How long will it take to save the money, assuming you have no expenses or taxes to pay?
Say I work 4-10pm that 6 hours a day. I work 5 days a week after school. 14x(6)= 84$
It should take me about a 2 ½ weeks of work to make enough 84 x 5= 420$
