Answer 2

Answer:

Rate of Pay is $11 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of $7\frac{1}{2}\:hr$ of work = $ 82.50

To find: Rate of pay

Here Rate of Pay means Cost of 1 hour of work or we can say cost of per hour work.

$7\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7\times2+1}{2}=\frac{15}{2}$

⇒ Cost of $\frac{15}{2}\;hr$ of work = $ 82.50

Cost of 1 hr of work = $\frac{82.50}{\frac{15}{2}}$

                                = $\frac{82.50\times2}{15}$

                                = $\frac{165}{15}$

                                = $ 11

Therefore, Rate of Pay is $11 per hour.
