32 : 4 = 8

40 . 5 = 8

64 : 8 = 8

80 : 10 = 8

Sandra earn ($) 8 per hour.

Just sub Susan's hours from her table into Sandra's equation y=15x.

y=15 x 4 =$60 vs $32 for Susan

y=15 x 5=$75 vs $40 for Susan

y=15 x 8=$120 vs $64 for Susan

y=15 x 10=$150 vs $80 for Susan.

As you can see, Sandra's earnings per hour is $15 compared to Susan's $8 per hour.
