Question

Penelope works after school for 4.5 hours on Monday, Tuesday, and Fridays. She doesn't have classes on Wednesday or Thursdays, so she works 8 hours on each of those days. If she makes $413 each week, what's her hourly rate?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is $14.00 and hour

step-by-step explanation:

you first add the hours for Monday, Tuesday, and Fridays

4.5 + 4.5 + 4.5 = 13.5 hours

then you add Wednesday and Thursday's hours

8 + 8 =16

then you will add your total hours together

16 + 13.5 = 29.5

you already know that she is going to make $413 on her check.  to find out how much she makes an hour you are going to divide $413 by 29.5

413 / 29.5 = 14

So that means she makes $14 an hour

you can check it to make sure it is right.  You will multiply 14 by 29.5

14(29.5) = $413
