Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. John worked for6 hours. . He earned a total of $48.
3. The hourly rate is constant for all the hours he worked.

STEP 2

We can find the hourly rate by dividing the total amount earned by the number of hours worked.
$r = \frac{Total\, amount\, earned}{Number\, of\, hours\, worked}$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the total amount earned and the number of hours worked to calculate the hourly rate.
$r = \frac{\$48}{6\, hours}$

STEP 4

Calculate the hourly rate.
$r = \frac{\$48}{6} = \$8\, per\, hour$ John's hourly rate is $8 per hour.
