Answer:
A = £7.15 per hour
James' average pay per hour this year is £7.15 per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Last year pay = £1,100 per month
This year, he's had a 4% increase in his monthly pay
This year pay P = 1,100 + 4% of 1,100 = 1,100 +1,100(0.04)
This year pay P = £1,144 per month
Yearly pay Tp= 12 × P = 12 × £1,144 = £13,728
Number of hours worked this year;
He worked 40 hours per week for 48 weeks in the year
N = 40 hours per week × 48 weeks per year
N = 1920 hours per year
Average pay per hour this year A;
A = Yearly pay/Number of hours worked this year
A = Tp/N
A = £13,728/1920hours
A = £7.15 per hour
James' average pay per hour this year is £7.15 per hour
