Greg and Josh want to go whitewater rafting in 3 weeks. Josh is able to save the \( \$ 480 \) he needs to go on the trip by saving the pay he received for 5 hours of work each week. Greg must save 8 hours worth of pay each week in order to have enough money. How much more money does Josh make than Greg? a. \( \$ 10 \) b. \( \$ 12 \) c. \( \$ 14 \) d. \( \$ 20 \) Please select the best answer from the choices provided

To find the difference in money earned by Josh and Greg, we need to determine their hourly wages. Josh is saving \( \$ 480 \) by saving 5 hours of work each week for 3 weeks. That means he works a total of \( 5 \times 3 = 15 \) hours, and his total earnings are \( 480 \). His hourly wage can be calculated as: \[ \text{Hourly wage of Josh} = \frac{480}{15} = \$32 \text{ per hour} \] Greg needs to save up the same \( \$ 480 \), but he saves 8 hours of work each week for 3 weeks. He works a total of \( 8 \times 3 = 24 \) hours. His hourly wage calculation is: \[ \text{Hourly wage of Greg} = \frac{480}{24} = \$20 \text{ per hour} \] Now to find out how much more money Josh makes than Greg per hour: \[ \text{Difference} = 32 - 20 = \$12 \] Thus, the answer is \( b. \$ 12 \).
