Question

If you make $5,525 in 15 weeks and worked 25 hours per week, how

much did you make per hour? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

$5,525/(15 hrs/wk × 25 wks)

= $5,525/375 hrs = $14.73/hr

Answer 2

$14.73

Explanation:

To find out how much you made per hour, you need to divide your total earnings by the total number of hours worked. 15 weeks at 25 hours per week is a total of 375 hours. Dividing $5,525 by 375 gives you $14.73 per hour. Therefore, you made approximately $14.73 per hour. Remember to round your answer to the nearest cent, so the final answer will be $14.73.
