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

Answer 1

To find Julieta's rate of pay, we need to divide her earnings by the number of hours worked for each time period:

For 8 hours:
Rate of pay = $160.80 / 8 hours = $20.10 per hour

For 12 hours:
Rate of pay = $241.20 / 12 hours = $20.10 per hour

For 22 hours:
Rate of pay = $442.20 / 22 hours = $20.10 per hour

Therefore, Julieta's rate of pay is $20.10 per hour.
