To compare which company pays the higher rate, we need to calculate the hourly rate for each company.
First, let's calculate the hourly rate for Company A:
- For 5.5 hours, they earn $140.25. So the hourly rate for this is $140.25 / 5.5 = $25.50/hour.
- For 22 hours, they earn $561. So the hourly rate for this is $561 / 22 = $25.50/hour.
- For 35 hours, they earn $892.50. So the hourly rate for this is $892.50 / 35 = $25.50/hour.
- For 40 hours, they earn $1,020. So the hourly rate for this is $1,020 / 40 = $25.50/hour.
Now, let's calculate the hourly rate for Company B:
- For 4 hours, they earn $114. So the hourly rate for this is $114 / 4 = $28.50/hour.
- For 10.6 hours, they earn $302.10. So the hourly rate for this is $302.10 / 10.6 = $28.50/hour.
- For 20.5 hours, they earn $584.25. So the hourly rate for this is $584.25 / 20.5 = $28.50/hour.
- For 35 hours, they earn $997.50. So the hourly rate for this is $997.50 / 35 = $28.50/hour.
Comparing the hourly rates, we see that both companies pay the same hourly rate of $25.50/hour for Company A and $28.50/hour for Company B. Therefore, neither company has a higher rate compared to the other.
To compare which company pays the higher rate, we need to calculate the hourly rate for both Company A and Company B.
For Company A, we can divide the total pay by the total hours worked:
Hourly rate for Company A = Total pay / Total hours worked
= $1,020.00 / 40
= $25.50/hour
For Company B, we can perform the same calculation:
Hourly rate for Company B = Total pay / Total hours worked
= $997.50 / 35
= $28.50/hour
Comparing the calculated hourly rates, we can see that Company B has a higher rate of $28.50/hour, while Company A has a lower rate of $25.50/hour.
Therefore, the correct answer is: Company B has the best hourly rate of $28.50/hour.
