Relevance Best Answer: Something is wrong with the question.

$78 / 612 hours ≈ $0.13 per hour (in other words, less than 13 *cents* per hour).

To figure the hourly rate, take the total pay and divide by the hours.

For example, if it was $78 for *6* hours, it would be:
78 / 6 = $13 per hour.

Or more likely, it was $78 for *6½* hours:
78 / 6½
= 78 / 13/2
= 78 x 2/13
= 78/13 x 2
= 6 x 2
= $12 per hour
