To determine how much a child and an adult earn per week working in a factory, we will use the daily wages provided in the chart and the number of working days per week.

### Step-by-step Solution:

1. Identify daily wages from the chart:
- A child earns \[tex]$2.00 per day working in a factory. - An adult earns \$[/tex]3.00 per day working in a factory.

2. Determine the number of working days in a week:
- The number of working days per week is 6.

3. Calculate the total weekly earnings for a child:
[tex]\[ \text{Child's daily wage} \times \text{Number of working days} = 2.00 \, \text{dollars/day} \times 6 \, \text{days} = 12.00 \, \text{dollars/week} \][/tex]

4. Calculate the total weekly earnings for an adult:
[tex]\[ \text{Adult's daily wage} \times \text{Number of working days} = 3.00 \, \text{dollars/day} \times 6 \, \text{days} = 18.00 \, \text{dollars/week} \][/tex]

Thus, the total amount earned by a child working in a factory per week is \[tex]$12.00, and the total amount earned by an adult laborer working in a factory per week is \$[/tex]18.00.
