The table shows the pay Leona earned for two different shifts at the same fixed hourly rate. How much will she earn for a five hour shift at this rate?
(A) $\$ 43.75$
(B) $\$ 46.25$
(C) $\$ 38.75$
(D) $\$ 36.25$
(E) $\$ 41.25$

| Shift | Total Pay |
| :---: | ---: |
| 3 hours | $\$ 24.75$ |
| 6 hours | $\$ 49.50$ |
In 3 hours, Leona earns $\$ 24.75$, so she makes $\$ 24.75 \div 3=\$ 8.25$ per hour.

Therefore, in a 5 hour shift, Leona earns $5 \times \$ 8.25=\$ 41.25$.

ANSWER: (E)
