Question

An employee earns $195 for 15 hours of work. Assuming he is paid by the hour, how much will the employee earn in 8 hours?

Answer 1

Answer:

$104

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First, find the employee’s hourly rate.  You can do this by dividing the total amount earned by the total hours worked. $\frac{195}{15}=13$
2. Now that you know that the employee’s hourly rate is $13 per hour, you can multiply the hourly rate by the number of hours. $13*8=104$
