Xavier worked 10 hours on Monday and 15 hours on Wednesday. His total pay was $280.00. What is his rate per hour?
a. $7.50
b. $11.20
c. $18.25
d. $15.00
The answer is B, $11.20. First you add the total hours Xavier worked which is 25 hours. Since the total pay is $280.00, you can divide $280 by 25 to find out the rate per hour. 280 divded by 25 is 11.2, equivalent to 11.20. The answer is $11.20, B.
