Q: Cindy was hired to teach 4 math courses which required her to be in the classroom for 48 hours a week altogether. How much did Cindy earn for teaching 1 math course in a month with exactly 4 weeks if her hourly rate per class is $25?
A: In a week, Cindy spends an average of 48 hours / week / 4 courses = 12 hours / week for 1 math course. In a month, 1 math course is 12 hours / week x 4 weeks / month = 48 hours. Therefore, she earns $25 / hour x 48 hours / week = $1200 a month for 1 math course. The answer is 1200.

Q: Mikaela earns $10 an hour tutoring. For the first month, she tutored for 35 hours and in the second month, she tutored 5 hours more than the first month. She spent 4/5 of her total earnings on her personal needs and saved the rest of the money. How much did she save?
A:
Mikaela spent 35 + 5 = 40 hours in the second month. So, she tutored a total of 35 + 40 = 75 hours for the first two months. Thus, her total earning was 75 x $10 = $750. And, her total expenses was 4 / 5 x $750 = $600. Therefore, she saved an amount of $750 - $600 = $150. The answer is 150.
