Answer:

$7.56

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the average hourly pay rate is shown below:

= (Total wages for all seventh month) ÷ (number of months)

= ($7.25 × 2 + $7.45 + $7.25 × 4) ÷ (7 months)

= $7.56

Hence, the average hourly pay rate for the month is $7.56 and the same is to be considered

We simply applied the above formula
