There are many ways to solve these types of questions. But I am going to use the fraction method.
Step 1: Set up a fraction.
Setting up a fraction, given the question will be the units on the same level. And the money earned will be a variable, "[tex]m[/tex]". It does not matter whether they are top or bottom.
[tex]\frac{8}{1} = \frac{m}{35}[/tex]
Step 2: Solve
[tex]\frac{8}{1} = \frac{m}{35}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{35m}{35}=8\cdot \:35[/tex]
[tex]m=280[/tex]
Therefore, Jake will earn $280.
