To find Nick's hourly earnings for the job, we need to divide the total amount he earned by the number of hours he worked. From the given information, it is not clear what the total amount he earned is. Therefore, we cannot determine his hourly earnings for the job.
weed control: $70.00
leaf removal: $165.00
lawn cleanup: $225.00
Aeration: $90.00
flower planting: $40.00 per flower bed
To find the total amount Nick earned for the job, we need to calculate the cost of each service he provided and sum them up.
- Weed control: $70.00
- Leaf removal: $165.00
- Lawn cleanup: $225.00
- Aeration: $90.00
- Flower planting: 3 flower beds * $40.00 per flower bed = $120.00
Total earnings = $70.00 + $165.00 + $225.00 + $90.00 + $120.00 = $670.00
Since Nick worked for 4.2 hours, his hourly earnings for the job would be: $670.00 / 4.2 hours = $159.52 (rounded to two decimal places).
Therefore, the correct response would be $159.52 as Nick's hourly earnings for the job.

not a option
I apologize for the confusion. Let's calculate Nick's hourly earnings again.
From the given information, we know that Nick spent 4.2 hours working on Deborah's lawn.
To find Nick's total earnings, we need to calculate the cost of each service he provided and sum them up:
- Leaf removal: $165.00
- Aeration: $90.00
- Flower planting: 3 flower beds * $40.00 per flower bed = $120.00
Total earnings = $165.00 + $90.00 + $120.00 = $375.00
Now we just need to divide Nick's total earnings by the number of hours he worked: $375.00 / 4.2 hours ≈ $89.29
Therefore, Nick's hourly earnings for the job would be approximately $89.29.
I apologize for the mistake in the previous response, and thank you for pointing it out.
