You can simply answer the question using division.

Explanation:

Since Barry worked 14 hours to earn $175, you can divide $175 by 14 to get how Barry warned per hour. Your math should look similar to this...

"earnings "=" hourly pay " * " 3 of hours worked"
175 = "hourly pay" * 14
175/14 = "hourly pay"
12.5 = "hourly pay"
Therefore, Barry earns $12.50 per hour.
