Answer 2

Answer: She earned $ 4 for each package delivered.

Explanation:

Since, her total rate of earning = $ 12.50 per hours,

And, she worked for 8 hours.

⇒ She earned in 8 hours = 8 × 12.50 = $ 100

According to the question,

She delivered 25 packages in 8 hours.

⇒ 25 packages = 8 hours

⇒ 25 packages = $ 100

⇒ 1 package = $ 4

Thus, she earned 4 dollars for each package.
