Question

During the summer, Andrew worked for 6 days each week. He worked 8 hours each day. In a week, he earned $360. How much was he paid for each hour of work?

Answer 1

First we need to find the total number of hours worked: `6xx8=48`.

Now we want an answer in dollars per hour, so we divide the total number of hours by the total number of dollars: `($360)/(48h)=($7.5)/h`. We normally write this as `$7.50`.

Andrew needs a better union. ;-)
