Last year, James earned £1,300 per month. This year, he's had a 5% increase in his monthly pay.
He worked 40 hours per week for 42 weeks in the year.
What is James' average pay per hour this year?
Give your answer to 2 dp.

1300/100 X 105 = 1365

1365/4 = 341.25 per week

341.25/40= 8.53125

$8.53

option 1 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x and constant of variation is 4

the equation will be:

y = k/x

where k =4 so,

y = 4/x

if we put values of x of option 1 in the above equation and find values of y

y = 4/-2 => y =-2

y = 4/-1 => y = -4

y = 4/1 => y = 4

y = 4/2 => y =2

so, all the values of x and y are correct.

if we put values of x given in other options and find value of y we cannot find whole table satisfying the equation.

hence option 1 is correct.
