You are paid $82.50 for 71212 hours of work. what is your rate of pay?

If you would like to know what is your rate of pay, you can calculate this using the following steps:

$82.50 ... 7.5 hours
$x = ? ... 1 hour

82.50 * 1 = 7.5 * x
82.50 = 7.5 * x     /7.5
x = 82.50 / 7.5
x = $11

The correct result would be $11 per hour.

If there are four friends then each would get, 1.25 or 1 1/4. so this is how i solved 5 ÷ 4 = 1.25 . hope this ; )
