Answer 1

To find Nick's hourly earnings, we need to divide the total amount he is paid by the number of hours he worked.

First, let's add up the prices for each service:
- Removing leaves: $100.00
- Aerating the lawn: $150.00
- Planting 3 flower beds: $125.00

Total cost: $100.00 + $150.00 + $125.00 = $375.00

Nick worked for 4.2 hours.

Now, let's divide the total cost by the number of hours worked:
$375.00 / 4.2 hours = $89.29

Therefore, Nick's hourly earnings for the job is $89.29.
