1 answer:
Answer:
<u>dollars per hour rate = $10</u>
<u>hours per dollar = 6 minutes 15 seconds</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Take note that one is singular (dollar) without an 's', and the other is plural (dollars). Thus, since her dollars per hour rate tells us how much she will earn for each hour of work, we would expect her hours per dollar rate to tell us how much she has to work in minutes to earn a single dollar ($1).
If we divide = $0.16 which indicates how much she earns for every minute she works at the theater. Further dividing this value into 1 minute we find the hour per dollar rate 1/0.16 = 6.25. minutes.

Answer:
$491.65
Step-by-step explanation:
The pay for the first 8 hours is $5.40 per hour × 8 hours = $43.20. Hours over 8 are paid at 1.5 × $5.40 = $8.10 per hour. There are at least 8 hours every day for the 6-day week. There are hours over 8 on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday totaling 7 hours of overtime.
The amount of sales is more than $3000, so 4% will be paid on $3000, and 5% will be paid on the $1115 in excess of $3000.
So, the gross pay is ...
$43.20 × 6 + 8.10 × 7 = $315.90 . . . . wages
$3000 × .04 +1115 × .05 = $175.75 . . . commission
$315.90 +1.75.75 = $491.65 . . . . gross pay for the week
