YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution: (type in your solution starting in the next line)

If you make a total of $168 for a period of 12 hours of work then you must divide $168 by 12 hours to simplify how much money was made per hour.

$168 divided into 12 hours ends up being $14 for each hour worked.

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