2. A person's hourly pay rate, r, is found by dividing the total amount

paid, p, by the number of hours worked, w. Write a formula for a
person's hourly pay rate. Then solve the formula for w.​

Answer 1

Formula for hourly pay rate: r = p/w

Formula for the number of hours worked: w = p/r

Answer 2

`r=(p)/(w)`

`w=(p)/(r)`

Explanation:

A person's hourly pay rate, r, is found by dividing the total amount paid, p, by the number of hours worked, w.

The formula for a person's hourly pay rate will be:

`r=(p)/(w)`

Now, the formula for w will be :

`w=(p)/(r)`
