Given:
Driver travels for 2 hours.
Speed = 60 miles per hour
Her car runs at the rate of 30 miles per gallon of gasoline.
She is paid $0.50 per mile.
Expenses is price of gasoline at the rate of $2.00 per gallon.
To find her net rate of pay in dollars per hour.
Solution:
In one hour the driver travels = 60 miles
