Answer:

C. Jason’s camp counselor job pays a higher hourly rate than Mia’s lifeguard job.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Mia’s lifeguard job, the hourly rate can be calculated dividing the amount of money between the hours worked. For example, 6 hours for $52.50 ([tex]52.5/6=8.75[/tex])

So the hourly rate is $8.75.

Comparing the hourly rate:

  • Lifeguard job pays  $8.75 per hour
  • Camp counselor job pays $9 per hour.

The camp counselor's job pays a higher hourly rate ([tex]9>8.75[/tex]).
