Question

You work for 4 hours on Saturday and 8 hours on Sunday. You also receive a $50 bonus. You earn $164. How much did you earn per hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the hourly rate, we would first need to take the total earnings and subtract the bonus.

 

$164 - $50 = 114

 

This gives us the total money earned for hourly work.

 

Then we need to add the total hours worked: 4 + 8 = 12.

 

Lastly, we need to take the total money earned and divide it by the total hours worked: 114 / 12 = 9.50 or $9.50 per hour.

 

The equation could look like:

 

4h + 8h + $50 = $165
