Answer 2

Answer:

Kyle's average hourly earnings for the job is $17.18

Explanation:

Given:

Cost for mowing lawn = $22.00

cost for weed eating  = $5.00

cost for edging = $5.00

cost for leaf blowing  = $5.00

cost for plating one flower bed = $10.00

To find:

Average hourly earnings for the job = ?

Solution:

Lets first find the total amount earned

Total amount earned  =  Cost for mowing lawn + cost for weed eating +cost for edging +cost for leaf blowing + 2(cost for plating one flower bed)

Total amount earned  = 22.00+ 5.00 +5.00 +5.00 +2(10.00)

Total amount earned  = 22.00+ 5.00 +5.00 +5.00 +20.00

Total amount earned  = 22.00+ 5.00 +5.00 +5.00 +20.00

Total amount earned  =  57.00

Kyle's average hourly earnings for the job = $\frac{ \text{ Total amount earned}}{\text{time taken to complete the work}}$

=>$\frac{57.00}{3.2}$

=> 17.18
