Answer:

Vasquez pays a better salary.

Explanation:

Given:

Amount payed by Carson to Kristin for babysitting six hours  =  $40

Amount payed by Mr. Vasquez to Kristin  for babysitting nine hours= $67.50

To find:

who pays Kristin a better salary?  

Solution:

Step 1: Finding the amount  paid by Carson for per hour.

For 6 hours=$40

so, for 1 hours =$\frac{40}{6}$=6.667

Step 2: Finding the amount  paid by Vasquez  for per hour.

For 9 hours=$67.50

so, for 1 hours =$\frac{67.50}{9}$=7.5  

As payment by Vasquez is greater than Carson, Vasquez pays a better salary.
