Question: `q002. If you work 12 hours and earn $168, then at what rate, in dollars / hour, were you making money?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution: ‘$168’ represents the total dollars earned for all hours worked. ‘12’ indicates the total hours worked contributing to the total of $168. The hourly rate of pay in dollars is unknown:

a x 12 = $168. To determine the hourly rate of pay in dollars, you need to divide the total dollars earned by the number of hours worked: 168/12=14. ‘14’ represents the amount of pay per hour.

A: $14 dollars per hour of work

confidence rating #$&*: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution: $168 earned in 12 hours implies that $168 / 12 = $14 were made per hour, so the rate is $14 / hour.
