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

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

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

$168/12 hours = $14/hour

If I earned a total of $168 after working for 12 hours… and I wanted to find how much I earned per hour I would divide 168 by 12 and get 14. I can confirm my answer by multiplying 12 * 14 and getting 168.
