Answer:

$3.60

Explanation:

Her hourly wage at her old job is 729/45 or $16.20 per hour. If her salary is increased by 10% then her wage weekly is $801.90. If her hours are reduced by 10% then she has to work 40.5 hours per week. This means you have to do 801.90/40.5 to get $19.80 per hour. So according to my math here she will make $3.60 more per hour at her new job. (Double check to make sure I'm correct)
