Answer:
$8.8 per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, the equation is simple.
Time (hours) * Money (per hour) = Total
We know the time he worked for and the total amount he earned, so just replace in this equation and find the unknown number
12.5 * money = 110
To find the money he earns per hour we should just simply divide the total amount he earned by the hours he spent working
money = 110/12.5
money = 8.8$
