Kai's hourly rate of pay is $19.25/hour.

<h2>Given to us</h2>

<h2>Total work time of Kai</h2><h3>From Statement 2,</h3>

Kai worked 6 hours for 4 of the days, and

$\begin{aligned}Time_2 &= 6\ hours \times 4\ days\\&= 6 \times 4\\&= 24\ hours \end{lignes}$

<h3>From Statement 3,</h3>

Kai worked 8 hours in 1 day

$\begin{aligned}Time_3 &= 8\ hours \times 1\ days\\&= 8 \times 1\\&= 8\ hours \end{lignes}$

$\rm{Total\ work\ time\ of\ Kai = Time_2 +Time_3$

$= 24\ hours+8\ hours\\= 32\ hours$

<h2>Kai's hourly rate of pay</h2>

$\rm{Kai's\ hourly\ rate\ of\ pay =\dfrac{weekly\ paycheck\ of\ Kai}{Total\ work\ time \of\ Kai}$

$=\dfrac{\$616}{32\ hours}\\\\= \$19.25/hour$

Hence, Kai's hourly rate of pay is $19.25/hour.
