Answer:

Shannon earns the least and Mary earns the most.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

John earns = $20 per week.

Also, Shannon earns [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] of what John earns.

i.e. Shannon earns = [tex]\frac{2}{3}\times 20[/tex] = [tex]\frac{40}{3}[/tex] = $13.3 per week.

Plus, Mary earns [tex]1\frac{2}{3}[/tex] of what John earns.

i.e. Mary earns = [tex]\frac{5}{3}\times 20[/tex] = [tex]\frac{100}{3}[/tex] = $33.3 per week.

Since, $33.3 > $20 > $13.3

So, we get,

Shannon earns the least and Mary earns the most.
