Question

A lawyer bills her clients $250 per hour of service. If a client's case requires 47 hours to complete, use proportion to calculate how much the client will owe the lawyer (excluding tax)?

Answer 1

I found: `$11,750`

Explanation:

You can express in words your proportion as:
If you pay `$250` for `1` hour THEN you´ll pay `$x` for `47` hours;
or
`250:1=x:47`
and
`x*1=250*47`
`x=$11,750`
