Chef earns $3.40 less than manager each hour.

Manager wages per hour = $8.50
Dishwasher wages per hour = half of manager's wages. = 1/2($8.50) ==> $4.25
Chef wages per hour = 20% greater than Dishwasher wages
--> 20% of $4.25 = (20*($4.25)) /100
--> ($85)/100
--> $0.85
Therefore,
Chef wages per hour = $4.25 + $0.85 ==> $5.10

Difference of wages between manager and chef = $8.50 - $5.10 ==> $3.40
