Question

a plumbing company takes an average of three hours to complete a job, if they complete 180 jobs in a month, and earn a total of 29,700 for the month, what was their average rate on an hourly basis for that month

Answer 1

55 per hour

Explanation:

let us find how many hours they completed 180 jobs.

1 job = 3 hours

180 x 3 = 540 hours

They earned 29,700 in 540 hours. We can find the hourly rate by dividing

29,700 by 540

29,700 ÷ 540 = 55 per hour
