Ms. Davis hires Kyle to mow the grass, edge the lawn, clean up the leaves, and plant 2 flower beds. Kyle spends 3.2 hours completing the work. What is Kyle's average hourly earnings for the job?
The total cost for mowing, edging, leaf blowing, and planting 2 flower beds is $22 (mowing) + $5 (edging) + $5 (leaf blowing) + $10 (planting flowers per bed) * 2 beds = $<<22+5+5+10*2=57>>57.
Kyle's average hourly earnings for the job is $57 / 3.2 hours = $<<57/3.2=17.8125>>17.8125 per hour. Answer: \boxed{17.8125}.
To calculate Kyle's average hourly earnings for the job, we need to determine the total amount he earned and divide it by the number of hours he spent working.
First, we calculate the total amount earned by adding up the prices of the services he provided:
Mowing lawn: $22.00
Edging: $5.00
Leaf blowing: $5.00
Planting 2 flower beds: 2 * $10.00 = $20.00
Total earnings = $22.00 + $5.00 + $5.00 + $20.00 = $52.00
Next, we divide the total earnings by the number of hours worked to find the average hourly earnings:
Average hourly earnings = Total earnings / Number of hours worked = $52.00 / 3.2 hours ≈ $16.25
Therefore, Kyle's average hourly earnings for the job are approximately $16.25.
To calculate Kyle's average hourly earnings for the job, we need to find the total amount he earned and divide it by the total number of hours worked.
First, let's calculate the total amount earned by Kyle:
- Mowing lawn: $22.00
- Edging: $5.00
- Leaf blowing: $5.00
- Planting 2 flower beds: $10.00 x 2 = $20.00
Total amount earned by Kyle = $22.00 + $5.00 + $5.00 + $20.00 = $52.00
Now, let's divide the total amount earned by the number of hours worked:
Average hourly earnings = Total amount earned / Number of hours worked
Average hourly earnings = $52.00 / 3.2 hours = $16.25
Therefore, Kyle's average hourly earnings for the job is $16.25.
