Answer 1

Marry's income per hour= $23.22

Explanation:

Susan's after raise of 50 cents income= $22 per hour

Susan's income before the raise= $(22-0.50)

Marry made 8% more than the Susan's income

Therefore, Marry's income= 21.5 +8% of 21.50

On the putting the values and calculating we get

Marry's income per hour= $23.22
