Question 4 options:

14 dollars per hour

3.50 dollars per hour

6.50 dollars per hour

2.07 dollars per hour

Answer 1

To find the rate of pay in dollars per hour, we can divide the total earned by the total hours worked.

For the first scenario of working 13 hours and earning $45.50, the rate of pay is $45.50 / 13 hours = $3.50 per hour.

For the second scenario of working 27 hours and earning $94.50, the rate of pay is $94.50 / 27 hours = $3.50 per hour.

Therefore, the answer is 3.50 dollars per hour.
