First off, let's notice that the angle is in the IV Quadrant, where sine is negative and the cosine is positive, likewise the opposite and adjacent angles respectively.
Also let's bear in mind that the hypotenuse is never negative, since it's simply just a radius unit.

Answer:
$21.95 per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the cost per hour, we take the total cost and divide by the number of hours
$153.65/ 7 hours
$21.95 per hour
The answer is R=0.053707443....
Round to the nearest decimal place as it asks for
i hope this helps :)
