Question

Lexie earned $64.38 for working from 8:00 AM to 4:15 PM. Within that time, she took a 1-hour lunch break for which she did not get paid. How much does Lexie earn per hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

$9.20

Step-by-step explanation:

8:00 am to 4:15 is 8 hours and 15 minutes. Subtract the hour for lunch and that gives you 7 hours and 15 minutes.

Divide $64.38 by 7 hours and you get 9.19 which rounded would mean Lexie gets paid $9.20 an hour
