Her hourly rate of pay would be $14.1 an hour because $112.8 divided by 8 is $14.1
If $96,169 is their combined pay in one year then consider this...
800x12=9,600
Simplify 96,169 to 96,000...
Divide 96,000 by 9,600 = 10.0
then pretend we had divided 96,100 by 9,600 then your answer would be 10.01
The answer is A
You can solve this by equation the two equations, by substitution method or elimination. Let's choose the substitution since Equation 2 has already X isolated
-take the X in equation 2 and substitute in the first equation
So, You should have 5 (5-3/2 y) -4y =7
Get y ( I'll assume you know how to simplify and find y by yourself )
y=36/23
-Now take y and substitute it in the first equation or the second equation (it doesn't really matter)
Substituting y in Equation 2:
x=5- 3/2 (36/23)
=> x= 61/23
So answer is A where (x,y) is (61/23, 36/23)
