Question

A mechanic's paycheck for a 5-day workweek is $490. A workday is 8 hours. What is

the worker's hourly pay? Paycheck

Answer 1

12.25 an hour

Explanation:

there are 24 hours in a day, 24*5 (days) = 120

24/8 (the number of hours he uses each day) is 3

divide 120 by 3 and you get the amount of hours he works a week, 40

$490 (the amount he makes in a week) divided by 40 (the amount of hours he works a week) and you get your answer of $12.25 an hour
