Answer:

Kim has the highest pay rate in dollars per hour

Explanation:

we know that

To find out the unit pay rate divide the total earning by the total time

so

Nina earns $117.60 for hours 14 of work


(117.60)/(14)=\$8.4\ per\ hour

Ty earns for $148.50 hours 18 of work


(148.50)/(18)=\$8.25\ per\ hour

Kim earns for $137.60 hours 16 of work


(137.60)/(16)=\$8.60\ per\ hour


8.6 > 8.4 > 8.25

therefore

Kim has the highest pay rate in dollars per hour
