2 1/3hrs→ $18.20
1 hr→ $7.80
5 1/4hrs→ $7.80x5 1/4= $40.95

Answer:

Daniel would make $40.95.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

The amount of money earned by Daniel after working for [tex]2\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{7}{3}[/tex] hours = $18.20

Then, the amount of money earned by Daniel after working for [tex]5\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{21}{4}[/tex] hour is,

[tex]Amount=\dfrac{18.20}{\dfrac{7}{3}}\times \dfrac{21}{4}\\\\Amount=\dfrac{18.20\times 3}{7}\times \dfrac{21}{4}\\\\Amount=\dfrac{54.6}{7}\times \dfrac{21}{4}\\\\Amount= 7.8\times 5.25\\\\Amount= \$ 40.95[/tex]

Hence, Daniel would make $40.95.
