Question

Aaron mows lawns and makes $70 per week. Last week

he spent $15 on gas and spent 5 hours mowing all of the
lawns. How much did he earn per hour?

Answer 1

Aaron earned $11 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much Aaron earned per hour, we need to subtract his expenses from his total earnings and then divide by the number of hours he worked.

Expenses = $15

Total earnings per week = $70

Number of hours worked = 5

Earnings per hour = (Total earnings - Expenses) / Number of hours worked = ($70 - $15) / 5 = $11/hour.
