Answer 1

Hello there!

In this question, we're trying to find how much Avery makes per hour (on average).

From the given information, we know that:

• She works at a retail store for 5 hours and is paid $10 per hour
• Works at a restaurant for 4 hours and is paid $21 per hour

We would need to find how much she makes in a day, so we would calculate that by multiplying the numbers and adding them together.

5 × 10 = 50

4 × 21 = 84

50 + 84 = 134

Now, we would divide it by 9 hours because that's how much she works in a day. We're doing this in order to find the average amount of money she makes per hour.

134 ÷ 9 = 14.888 or 14.89 when rounded

Answer: C). $14.89 per hour on average

I hope this helps!

Best regards,

Answer 2

C.) $14.89

Explanation:

Add how much money she made in all:

`(10 * 5) + (21 * 4) = 134`

Divide it by how many hours she worked:

`134 / 9 = 14.88888...`

Round to the nearest cent:

`= 14.89`

She makes on average $14.89 a day.

Hope this helps : )
