Answer:
Rate of Pay is $11 per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of [tex]7\frac{1}{2}\:hr[/tex] of work = $ 82.50
To find: Rate of pay
Here Rate of Pay means Cost of 1 hour of work or we can say cost of per hour work.
[tex]7\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7\times2+1}{2}=\frac{15}{2}[/tex]
⇒ Cost of [tex]\frac{15}{2}\;hr[/tex] of work = $ 82.50
Cost of 1 hr of work = [tex]\frac{82.50}{\frac{15}{2}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{82.50\times2}{15}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{165}{15}[/tex]
= $ 11
Therefore, Rate of Pay is $11 per hour.
