  1. Calculate Meg's hourly wage: Calculate Meg's hourly wage.\newlineMeg earned $31\$31 for 44 hours of work.\newlineHourly wage = Total earnings / Hours worked\newlineHourly wage = $31/4=$7.75\$31 / 4 = \$7.75 per hour.
  2. Calculate Gabby's hourly wage: Calculate Gabby's hourly wage.\newlineGabby earned $37.50\$37.50 for 55 hours of work.\newlineHourly wage = Total earnings / Hours worked\newlineHourly wage = $37.50/5=$7.50\$37.50 / 5 = \$7.50 per hour.
  3. Compare hourly wages: Compare hourly wages of Meg and Gabby.\newlineMeg's hourly wage = $7.75\$7.75\newlineGabby's hourly wage = $7.50\$7.50\newlineSince $7.75\$7.75 is greater than $7.50\$7.50, Meg makes more money per hour.
