Answer

Avery earns $90 \times 12 = 1080$ dollars and Carmen earns $80 \times 12 = 960$ dollars in 12 weeks. During summer break, Avery will earn $1080 - 960 = 120$ dollars more than Carmen.

Steps

Step 1 ：Avery: $\frac{360}{4} = 90$ dollars per week.

Step 2 ：Carmen: $\frac{480}{6} = 80$ dollars per week.

Step 3 ：Avery earns $90 \times 12 = 1080$ dollars and Carmen earns $80 \times 12 = 960$ dollars in 12 weeks. During summer break, Avery will earn $1080 - 960 = 120$ dollars more than Carmen.
