new rate = 85/5 = 17
so the $17 per hour new rate includes the $7 per hour raise,
so what was it before the raise?
Theyre right
100% 5/5
To find out how much Sam made before his raise, we need to determine his hourly rate before the raise.
Let's assume Sam's hourly rate before the raise is "x".
Since he received a $7.00 per hour raise, his hourly rate after the raise would be x + 7.
We know that he worked 5 hours and got paid $85, so we can set up an equation to solve for x:
5(x + 7) = 85
First, we distribute the 5 to both terms within the parentheses:
5x + 35 = 85
Next, we isolate the variable term by subtracting 35 from both sides:
5x = 85 - 35
Simplifying the right side:
5x = 50
Finally, we divide both sides by 5 to solve for x:
x = 50 / 5
x = 10
Therefore, Sam made $10 per hour before his raise.
