Question

Eric works 13 hours the first week and earns $119.60. The second week,
he earns $184. Assuming he is paid the same hourly rate each week, how
many more hours does Eric work the second week? What is the hourly rate?

Answer 1

Hourly rate:

119.60/13=9.2
So $9.20 an hour

The rest of it:
184/9.2= 20 hours

(184 dollars in total divided by 9.20 dollars per hour gets you total hours)

20 hours the second week minus 13 hours the first week=7 more hours the second week
