Last week you worked 32 hours, and earned $304. What is your hourly pay rate? per hour Give your answer in dollars and cents (like 5.50)

Respuesta :

32 hours worked corresponds to $304 earned. To find how much you earned after 1 hour, we can use the next proportion:

[tex]\frac{32\text{ hours}}{1\text{ hour}}=\frac{304\text{ \$}}{x\text{ \$}}[/tex]

Solving for x:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 32\cdot x=1\cdot304 \\ x=\frac{304}{32} \\ x=9.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Your hourly pay rate is $9.50
