Answer 1

To know this answer, we have to divide the amount each one earns between the number of hours they work. So:  For Nina:  117.60 / 1414 = 0.083168317  For Ty:  148.50 / 1818 = 0.081683168  For Kim:  137.60 / 1616 = 0.085148515  Then Kim has the highest pay rate in dollars per hour with a total of 0.085148515 $ / h.
