Answer 2

Answer: John's rate = $14

Explanation:

Given: John's friend told him that he could earn $49 for handing out flyers at a local concert.

If he works a total of 3.5 hours, the equation
`3.5x=49` can be used to determine his hourly rate x.

Divide 3.5 on both the sides of the equation, we get

`x=(49)/(3.5)=14\\\\\Rightarrow x=14`

Therefore, John's rate = $14
