Answer 1

Answer: $3.25 an hour.

Step-by-step explanation: If the server wants to make 184 dollars and they already made 164.50, you subtract 184 by 164.50. 184-164.50= 19.50

That is how much the server made without tips over the course of 6 hours, and we want the amount they made in 1 hour. So we now divide 19.50 by 6. 19.50/6=3.25
