a. $7.50
b. $11.20
c. $18.25
d. $15.00

Answer 1

280/(10+15) = 11.20. Xavier's rate per hour is $11.20

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is B, $11.20. First you add the total hours Xavier worked which is 25 hours. Since the total pay is $280.00, you can divide $280 by 25 to find out the rate per hour. 280 divded by 25 is 11.2, equivalent to 11.20. The answer is $11.20, B.
