If someone who worked 16 hours received $132 in pay, what is his or her hourly rate? 116.00 2,112.00 148.00 8.25
To find the unit rate we will divide the amount of money earned by the amount of hours worked. Then we will check it. Lets do it:-
132 ÷ 16 = 8.25
1 hour = $8.25.
CHECK OUR WORK:-
8.25 × 16 = 132
We were RIGHT!!!
So, your answer would be $8.25.
Hope I helped ya!!
We need to set up a proportion.
132/16 = x/1
Cross multiply
1321 = 132
16x = 16x
16x = 132 Isolate the variable to solve for x.
16x/16 = 132/16
x= 132/16
x= 8.25
$8.25 is what she/he earns in one hour.
