Given:

Lenny worked 7 hours on Wednesday, 6 hours on Thursday, and 9 hours on Friday.

The gross pay for all three days =$196.90.

Aim:

We need to find the hourly rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of working hours = 7+ 6+9

The total number of working hours = 22 hours.

Divide the gross pay for three days by 22 hours to find the hourly rate.


\text{The hourly rate =}(196.90)/(22)


\text{The hourly rate = \$}8.95\text{ per hour}

Final answer:

The hourly rate is $ 8.95 per hour.
