I feel like I should be able to solve this, but I can't remember how to relate their hours and pay correctly.

Wait, if Fran makes $2 more than Karen, does that mean I need to find Karen's rate first? I'm a bit lost on that part.

I think I practiced a similar question where we had to find total earnings based on hours worked. Maybe I can use that approach here?

I remember something about setting up equations based on their hourly rates, but I'm not sure how to start.
