What is Hawa ’s rate of pay, in dollars per hour

Answer 1

To find Hawa's rate of pay, we can use the formula:

Rate of pay = Earnings / Time

For each time period given in the table:

Rate of pay for 9 hours = $315 / 9 hours = $35 per hour
Rate of pay for 12 hours = $420 / 12 hours = $35 per hour
Rate of pay for 24 hours = $840 / 24 hours = $35 per hour

Therefore, Hawa's rate of pay is $35 per hour.
