Answer 2

Answer:She earns $9 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Shelia works 8 hours per day Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This means she works a total of 8×3 = 24 hours for Monday, Wednesday and Friday

She also works 6 hours a day on Tuesday and Thursday. This means that she works for a total of 6×2 = 12 hours on Tuesday and Thursday.

Total hours worked for the week will be sum of hours worked on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. It becomes

24 + 12 = 36 hours

She earns $324 per week. The amount that she earns in a week will be

Total amount earned in a week/total number of hours worked in the week. It becomes

324/36 = 9

She earns $9 per hour
