Inverse variations: 6 employees, working 8 hours a day, earn $8,400 per week. What will the earning per week of 9 employees who work for 6 hours per day? If this is an inverse variation, what's the constant? How do I set this problem up?

Find out how much they are paid 8400/ 6 x 8 x 5 = $35 Use this to calculate second scenario is wage is constant 6 x 9 x 5 x 35 = $9450
