Problem
4) Avery and Carmen both have summer jobs. Avery gets paid \( \$ 360 \) every 4 weeks. Carmen gets paid \( \$ 480 \) every 6 weeks. Summer break lasts a total of 12 weeks. Who will earn more money during summer break? Find the amount Avery and Carmen each earn in 1 week. Avery earns \( \$ \quad 90 \) per week. Carmen earns \( \$ 80 \) per week. Find the amount Avery and Carmen each earn in 12 weeks. Avery earns \( \$ \) in 12 weeks. Carmen earns \( \$ \) ? in 12 weeks.
Solution
Step 1 ：Avery \(\$360\) for 4 weeks: \(\frac{360}{4} = \$90\) per week
Step 2 ：Carmen \(\$480\) for 6 weeks: \(\frac{480}{6} = \$80\) per week
Step 3 ：Avery's earnings in 12 weeks: \(90 \times 12 = \$1080\)
Step 4 ：Carmen's earnings in 12 weeks: \(80 \times 12 = \$960\)
