Given:

Alan salary P (in dollars) when he works h hours is represented by the equation

P=12.50h

To find:

The earning per hour.

Solution:

We have,

P=12.50h

Here, P is total salary and h is number of hours he works.

$\text{Earning per hour}= \frac{\text{Total salary}}{\text{Number of hours}}$

$\text{Earning per hour}= (12.50h)/(h)$

$\text{Earning per hour}=12.50$

Therefore, the earning per hour is $12.50.
