Based on the given problem above, here is the solution.
Given: Iris's charge: 470
1 1/5 times her fee: additional hourly rate
? = fee for an hourly rate
What we need to do first is divide 470 by 7 hours, so 470/7 = 67.143/hour.
So Iris's per hour is 67.143 without the additional rate.
Now, let's look for the 1 1/5 of 470. 1 1/5 is equal to 1.2. So 470 x 1.2 = 564.
To get the total fee of her hourly rate, we add 67.143 and 564, so Iris's hourly rate then is 631.143 or 631.14.
