Question

sean worked 4.5 hours on saturday and 8hours on monday. he was paid $118.75 for two days . what is seans hourly wage?

Answer 1

Sean earns $9.50 an hour.

In order to find this, we have to first find out how many hours total he worked. To do this, we add his Saturday and Monday totals together.

4.5 + 8 = 12.5 hours.

Now that we have the hour total, we take the amount earned and divide it by that total for our answer.

$118.75 / 12.5 hours = $9.50/hr.
