If sam makes 16.25 for 15 hours of tutoring how much money does she make per hour?

Answer 1

See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

We can write this as a ratio and solve for `x`:

`16.25` is to `15` hours as `x` is to `1` hour, or:

`16.25/15 = x/1`

`16.25/15 = x`

`1.08 = x`

`x = 1.08` rounded to the nearest penny

Sam makes `1.08` per hour.
