9100/.28 = 32,500
9.50/1.25 = 7.60
Using proportions:
1) 28/100 = 9100/x
2) 125/100 = 9.50/x

I. $9100 - > 28%
1% -> 9100/28
100% -> $32500
II.9.50 -> 125% inc
1 % - > 9.50/125
100 % -> 9.50/125 *100 = $7.60

9100 / x = 28 / 100
28x = 910000
x = 32500
Shannon made a total of $32,500 last year.
9.50 / x = 125 / 100
950 = 125x
7.60 = x
Regina made $7.60 per hour last year.

Just cross multiply 9100/.28 with x/100
.28x =9100
x=32,500

9100/x = 28/100 then cross multiply and solve for x
9.5/x = 125/100 then cross multiply and solve for x

.28 times X = 9100
9100/.28 = X = $32,500
1.25 times X = 9.5
9.5/1.25 = X = $7.60/hour
