Question

Theresa worked 9 hours on Monday and 7 hours on Wednesday. Her total pay was $156.00. What is her rate per hour?

Answer 1

x= rate per hour

Multiply each day's hours by the rate of pay. Add the days times the rate of pay which equals the total pay.

9x + 7x= $156
combine like terms
16x= 156
divide both sides by 16
x= $9.75

ANSWER: Her rate per hour is $9.75.

Hope this helps! :)
