Answer 2

Answer:  John's rate = $14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: John's friend told him that he could earn $49 for handing out flyers at a local concert.

If he works a total of 3.5 hours, the equation $3.5x=49$ can be used to determine his hourly rate x.

Divide 3.5 on both the sides of the equation, we get

$x=\frac{49}{3.5}=14\\\\\Rightarrow x=14$

Therefore, John's rate = $14
