Answer 1

Given:

a.) A cashier worked an 8-hour day and earned $58.00.

To be able to determine how much do the cashier earns per hour, we will be using the following equation:

`\text{ Earnings per hour = }\frac{Daily\text{ earnings}}{Numbe\text{r of hours worked}}`

This equation means that to be able to determine the cashier's earning per hour, we divide his/her earnings by the number of hours he/she worked.

We get,

`\text{ = }\frac{\text{ \$58}}{8\text{ Hours}}`
`\text{ = \$7.25 per hour}`

Therefore, the cashier is earning $7.25 per hour.
