Could you help me with this?

Q178.The salary of a laborer is in direct proportion to the number of toys he makes and the number of hrs he spends on the job. What would be the salary of the laborer if he works for 8 hrs and creates 15 toys.
1) He gets $20 for creating 3 toys in 1 hour
2) He gets $45 for creating 8 toys in 2 hours
