Answer 1

answer is b

Step-by-step explanation:

$22.00 + $5.00 + $5.00 + 2($10.00)= $52.00

Step 2: Divide total by the number of hours.

$52.00 ÷ 3.2

$16.25

Answer 2

Kyle's average hourly earnings for the job is $17.18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost for mowing lawn = $22.00

cost for weed eating = $5.00

cost for edging = $5.00

cost for leaf blowing = $5.00

cost for plating one flower bed = $10.00

To find:

Average hourly earnings for the job = ?

Solution:

Lets first find the total amount earned

Total amount earned = Cost for mowing lawn + cost for weed eating +cost for edging +cost for leaf blowing + 2(cost for plating one flower bed)

Total amount earned = 22.00+ 5.00 +5.00 +5.00 +2(10.00)

Total amount earned = 22.00+ 5.00 +5.00 +5.00 +20.00

Total amount earned = 22.00+ 5.00 +5.00 +5.00 +20.00

Total amount earned = 57.00

Kyle's average hourly earnings for the job =
`\frac{ \text{ Total amount earned}}{\text{time taken to complete the work}}`

=>
`(57.00)/(3.2)`

=> 17.18
