Question

Lamonte earned $269.10 at his job when he worked for 13 hours. How much money did he earn each hour?

Answer 1

Lamonte earned $20.70 per hour. Just do this by taking 269.10 and dividing it by 13.

Answer 2

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to divide the total amount of money Lamonte earned ($269.10) by the number of hours he worked (13 hours).

We can write this as an equation as follows:

earnings per hour = $269.10 / 13 hours

To solve for earnings per hour, we can divide both sides of the equation by 13:

earnings per hour = $269.10 / 13 hours / 13 = $269.10 / 13^2 = $269.10 / 169 = $1.60

Therefore, Lamonte earned $1.60 per hour.
