[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find the rate per hour, you need to divide the total pay by the total number of hours worked. In this case, Theresa worked 9 hours on Monday and 7 hours on Wednesday, so the total number of hours worked is 9 + 7 = 16 hours.

Given that her total pay is $116.00, divide this amount by the total number of hours worked:

$116.00 ÷ 16 hours = $7.25

Therefore, the rate per hour for Theresa is $7.25.

So, the correct answer is A. $7.25.
