Answer 1

Answer:

Basic wage rate = $9.375 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Basic week, hours worked per week = 40 hours

Weekly basic wage rate :

Fortnight = 2 weeks

Hence, weekly wage = fortnight wage / 2 = 750 /2 = $375

Weekly basic wage rate = $375 / Number of hours worked per week = $375 / 40 = $9.375 per hour
