Answer 2

$22.95/hour.

Explanation:

It is given that the average wage for an electrician in CA is $25.47/hour. That is 11% above the national average.

Let as consider x be the national average.

11% above the national average is

`x+(11)/(100)x=x+0.11x=1.11x`

The average wage for an electrician in CA is 11% above the national average. So,

`1.11x=25.47`

Divide both sides by 1.11.

`x=(25.47)/(1.11)`

`x=22.945945...`

`x=22.95`

Therefore, the national average is $22.95/hour.
