Answer:

The new price of the coat is $201.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The price will be higher since this is an increase.

Percent increase = (new price - old price) / old price

Substituting what we know

.15 = (new price -175)/175

Multiplying each side by 175

.15*175 = new price by 175

26.25 = New price-175

Add 175 to each side

26.25+175 = new price-175+175

201.25 = new price

The new price of the coat is 201.25

Well if she earned the same amount per hour the hours can be added. 2.25 + 3.25 = 5.5 hours. To get the rate of earning per hour you would then divide the total made by the total time worked. 42/5.5 = $7.64 approximately.
