To compare the hourly rates, we need to determine the hourly rate for each company by dividing the pay by the hours worked:
For Company A:
Hourly rate = Pay / Hours of Work
For Company B:
Hourly rate = Pay / Hours of Work
Calculating the hourly rates for each company:
Company A:
Hourly rate for 5.5 hours = 140.25 / 5.5 ≈ $25.41/hour
Hourly rate for 22 hours = 561.00 / 22 ≈ $25.50/hour
Hourly rate for 35 hours = 892.50 / 35 ≈ $25.50/hour
Hourly rate for 40 hours = 1,020.00 / 40 ≈ $25.50/hour
Company B:
Hourly rate for 4 hours = 114.00 / 4 ≈ $28.50/hour
Hourly rate for 10.6 hours = 302.10 / 10.6 ≈ $28.50/hour
Hourly rate for 20.5 hours = 584.25 / 20.5 ≈ $28.50/hour
Hourly rate for 35 hours = 997.50 / 35 ≈ $28.50/hour
Comparing the results, we can see that Company B pays a higher rate of $28.50/hour, which is the correct answer.
