If I made $20 in 30 minutes how much money did I made in 1 minute?

Question

I earned $20 dollars in 30 minutes and I'm trying to figure out how much I made in each minute

Answer 1

You would set this question up as proportion.

 

$20/30min = x/1min

 

You would then cross multiply to get...

 

30x=20

 

Divide by 30 on both sides...

 

x=.6666 repeating

Round to the nearest cent...

 

x=67 cents
