Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The key here is to find out how much he makes per hour. We can find that out using the info given.
286 = 13x so
x = 22 dollars per hour. For 7 hours of work then,
7(22) = $154
The person above is absolutely right and I agree with it! You could also find the unit rate this way:
Find the unit rate of dollars per hour:
286 ÷ 13 = 22
So the unit rate is $22 per hour of work
Either way, the answer is right
Hope this helps!
