Answer 2

Kai's hourly rate of pay is $19.25.

Explanation:

Kay's hourly rate of pay is his gross weekly paycheck divided by the total number of hours he worked.

The problem states that:

Kai worked 6 hours for 4 of the days and 8 hours on 1 day. This means that he worked 4*6 + 8 = 32 hours on the week.

He earned $616.

So his hourly rate of pay is:

`(616)/(32) = 19.25`

Kai's hourly rate of pay is $19.25.
