Orlando earned $92.25 washing windows on the weekend. He worked 3.5 hours on Saturday and 6.75 hours on Sunday. If Orlando charges the same amount for every hour he works, how much does he earn per hour?
Can i get help
please
92.25 / ( 3.5 + 6.75) = 92.25 / 10.25 = 9
To find out how much Orlando earns per hour, we need to divide the total amount he earned by the total number of hours he worked.
First, let's calculate the total number of hours Orlando worked:
Saturday: 3.5 hours
Sunday: 6.75 hours
To find the total number of hours worked, add the hours from both days:
Total hours worked = 3.5 hours + 6.75 hours
Next, add the total hours worked:
Total hours worked = 10.25 hours
Now, divide the total amount Orlando earned by the total number of hours worked to determine his hourly rate.
Hourly Rate = Total amount earned / Total hours worked
Given that Orlando earned $92.25 and worked 10.25 hours:
Hourly Rate = $92.25 / 10.25
Now, divide the total amount earned by the total number of hours worked to find the hourly rate:
Hourly Rate ≈ $9.00
Therefore, Orlando earns approximately $9.00 per hour.
