Given:
Amount paid for 20½ hours of work = $234.56
Let's find the amount you should be paid for 30 hours of work at the same r te.
Here, let's first find the rate.
To find the rate per hour, we have:
[tex]rate=\frac{amount\text{ paid}}{number\text{ of hours}}[/tex]
Thus, the rate will be:
[tex]\begin{gathered} rate=\frac{234.56}{20\frac{1}{2}} \\ \\ rate=\frac{234.56}{20.5} \\ \\ rate\text{ = 11.44 per hour} \end{gathered}[/tex]
This means you are paid $11.44 per hour.
If you now work for 30 hours, the amount earned ill be:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 30*11.44 \\ \\ =343.26 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, the amount you should be paid for 30 hours of work is $343.26
ANSWER:
$343.26
