Answer 1

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

Let's calculate the total amount Nick earned for the job.

Removing leaves: $79.76
Aerating the lawn: $375.00
Planting 3 flower beds: $93.75

Total earnings: $79.76 + $375.00 + $93.75 = $548.51

Now, let's divide the total earnings by the number of hours worked:

Hourly earnings = Total earnings / Number of hours worked
Hourly earnings = $548.51 / 4.2 hours
Hourly earnings ≈ $130.36

Therefore, Nick's hourly earnings for the job is approximately $130.36.
