Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Kim has the highest pay rate in dollars per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out the unit pay rate divide the total earning by the total time

so

Nina earns $117.60 for hours 14 of work

$\frac{117.60}{14}=\ 8.4\ per\ hour$

Ty earns for $148.50 hours 18 of work

$\frac{148.50}{18}=\ 8.25\ per\ hour$

Kim earns for $137.60 hours 16 of work

$\frac{137.60}{16}=\ 8.60\ per\ hour$

$8.6 > 8.4 > 8.25$

therefore

Kim has the highest pay rate in dollars per hour
