Question 5
To find Nick's hourly earnings, we need to divide the total amount he is paid by the number of hours he worked.
First, let's add up the prices for each service:
- Removing leaves: $100.00
- Aerating the lawn: $150.00
- Planting 3 flower beds: $125.00
Total cost: $100.00 + $150.00 + $125.00 = $375.00
Nick worked for 4.2 hours.
Now, let's divide the total cost by the number of hours worked:
$375.00 / 4.2 hours = $89.29
Therefore, Nick's hourly earnings for the job is $89.29.
To find Nick's hourly earnings for the job, we need to divide the total amount he earned by the number of hours he spent working.
The total amount Nick earned is not provided in the question, so we need more information to calculate his hourly earnings.
