To find Nick's hourly earnings, we need to divide the total amount he earned by the number of hours he worked.
Let's calculate the total amount Nick earned for the job.
Removing leaves: $79.76
Aerating the lawn: $375.00
Planting 3 flower beds: $93.75
Total earnings: $79.76 + $375.00 + $93.75 = $548.51
Now, let's divide the total earnings by the number of hours worked:
Hourly earnings = Total earnings / Number of hours worked
Hourly earnings = $548.51 / 4.2 hours
Hourly earnings ≈ $130.36
Therefore, Nick's hourly earnings for the job is approximately $130.36.

To determine Nick's hourly earnings for the job, we need to divide the total amount he earned by the number of hours he worked.
According to the information provided, Nick spent 4.2 hours working on Deborah's lawn.
Since the question doesn't provide the total amount Nick earned for the job, we cannot calculate his hourly earnings without that information. Please provide the total amount Nick earned for the job.
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.
First, let's calculate the total amount Nick earned for the job. From the information given, we know that each service has a flat fee. However, the prices for each service are not provided in the question. To calculate the total amount, we need to know the individual prices for removing leaves, aerating the lawn, and planting flower beds. Once we have these prices, we can add them together.
Without the prices for each service, it is not possible to determine the total amount earned and hence Nick's hourly earnings. Therefore, the correct answer cannot be determined from the information provided in the question.
