Answer 1

15 dollars.

Explanation:

Here we are given the total pay for the year and weekly hours and no of weeks.

Required to find hourly pay

given that Semi earned 23,400 dollars last year.

No of hours Semi worked per week = 30 hours

No of weeks Semi worked = 52

Hence total number of hours worker by Semi in one year

= 30x52 =1560 hours.

Total income per year = 23400

Total hours worked = 1560

Hence hoursly pay rate =
`(23400)/(1560) =15 dollar per hour`

Answer 2

15$

Explanation:

Income = $23,400

Time at work = 30 hours * 52 weeks = 1,560 hours

Hourly pay rate = [Income] / [Time at work] = 23,400 / 1,560 = 15$
