Answer:

Sami had an hourly pay rate of $15 an hour

Explanation:

Multiply 52 by 30 and you get 1,560, this is the total number of hours sami worked in a year.

If Sami made $23,400 in one year and worked 1,560 hours, you divide the total amount of hours work and total amount of money made to get an hourly pay rate of $15 an hour.

So, lets think about the information we are given.

Sammy earns 23,400 in a given year.

In a year, he works 52 weeks.

Per week, he works 30 hours.

Find hours -> find pay.

To find hours, multiply number of weeks by hours

52 * 30 = 1560

He works 1560 hours per year.

To find hourly income, divide total money per year by hours per year. He makes 15 dollars per hour.

Find $ per week.

Hourly rate by hours per week

15 * 30 =450 per week

Hope this helps :)
