Answer:

7200 cents or $72

Explanation:

he makes 10 cents every 5 seconds

in one hour there are 60 minutes

and there are 60 seconds in a minute

so,

in one minute he makes:

60 / 5 = 12

10cents x 12 = 120 cents per minute

and in one hour he makes

120cents x 60 = 7200 cents

= 7200 cents in one hour

= $72 in one hour

hope this helps :)

Answer:

$72.00 per hour

or

7200 cents per hour

Explanation:

10 cents every 5 seconds

There are 60 seconds in 1 minute, 60 min in 1 hour, so 3600 seconds in 1 hour.

5x=3600

x=720

10(720):5(720)

7200:3600

He makes 7200 cents every hour

Divide that by 100; he makes $72.00 per hour.
