Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. $ 19.25

Explanation:

To calculate the hourly rate of pay, first, let's calculate the total number of hours Kai worked, and then divide the total earned into the number of hours.

6 hours x 4 days = 24 hours

8 hours x 1 day = 8 hours

24 hours + 8 hours = 32 hours

This shows Kai worked a total of 32 hours. Now to find the hourly rate of pay, follow this procedure:

$616 (total earned) ÷ 32 hours = $19.25 each hour

This means Kai earns $19.25 for each hour of work and therefore the hourly rate of pay is $19.25.
