Answer: $4.50 per hour

Explanation:

First, find how much she earned, excluding the tips.

73-46= 27

She earned $27 in the 6 hours, without tips

To find her hourly wage, you divide 27 by six because, since she worked 6 hours to earn $27, we need to find the unit rate.

27/6 = 4 dollars 50 cents.
