To compare the rates of pay between Company A and Company B, we need to look at the pay per hour for each company.
For Company A, the pay per hour can be calculated by dividing the pay by the hours of work:
For the first row: 140.25 / 5.5 = $25.41 per hour
For the second row: 562.00 / 22.0 = $25.55 per hour
For the third row: 892.50 / 35.0 = $25.50 per hour
For the fourth row: 1,020.00 / 40.0 = $25.50 per hour
For Company B, the pay per hour can be calculated in the same way:
For the first row: 114.00 / 4.0 = $28.50 per hour
For the second row: 302.10 / 10.6 = $28.52 per hour
For the third row: 584.25 / 20.5 = $28.50 per hour
For the fourth row: 997.50 / 35.0 = $28.50 per hour
Comparing the pay rates per hour, we can see that both Company A and Company B pay the same rate of $25.50 per hour. Therefore, both companies pay the same rate and there is no clear distinction of which company pays a higher rate.
