Question

sarah and danielle both work as editors for the same website. sarah works full - time and danielle works part - time. in a typical two - week period, who will most likely earn more? why?

sarah will earn more because she works for more hours per week than danielle works.

sarah will earn more because she works on the weekend and danielle only works on weekdays.

danielle will earn more because full - time employees pay higher taxes than part - time employees.

danielle will earn more because part - time employees have higher hourly wages than full - time employees.

Explanation:

To determine who earns more, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Full - time work (Sarah) typically involves more weekly hours than part - time (Danielle). Earnings (assuming similar hourly rates) depend on hours worked, so more hours mean more pay.
• Option 2: The problem doesn't state Sarah works weekends or Danielle only weekdays, so this is an unsubstantiated claim.
• Option 3: Tax rates don't directly determine gross earnings (the question is about who "will MOST LIKELY earn more" in terms of income before/after tax? But the context implies gross or take - home, and tax doesn't make part - time earn more here as tax is on earnings, not a reason part - time earns more.
• Option 4: There's no general rule that part - time employees have higher hourly wages than full - time; full - time often has benefits but hourly rate is not typically lower.

So the first option is the most logical as more hours worked (full - time vs part - time) lead to more earnings.

Answer:

A. Sarah will earn more because she works for more hours per week than Danielle works.
