Question

Kenya worked from 2:00 pm to 11:00 pm and made $79.11. What was her rate of pay per hour?

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\sf \$ \ 8.79\ per\ hour}`

Explanation:

Given that:

Work hours = 2:00 pm - 11:00 pm

• This makes a total of 9 work hours.

So,

9 hours = $79.11

Rate of pay per hour:

Using unitary method

9 hours = $79.11

Divide both sides by 9

1 hour = $79.11/9

1 hour = $8.79

So, Kenya is being paid $8.79 per hour.
