Question

Xavier worked 10 hours on Monday and 15 hours on Wednesday. His total pay was $280.00. What is his rate per hour?

Answer 1

Number of hours Xavier worked on Monday = 10 hours
Number of hours Xavier worked on Tuesday = 15 hours
Total pay received by Xavier = $280
Total number of hours worked by Xavier = (10 + 15) hours
                                                                 = 25 hours
Rate per hour = 280/25 dollars per hour
                       = 11.2 dollars per hour
