Sis worked 14.4 hours and saved $271.30 for a new bike. The equation 14.4x=271.30 could be used to represent how much aid earned per hour. What is the hourly rate, x, Sid worked to pay for the new bike? Round to the nearest hundredths place.

The hourly rate she worked to pay for the new bike is $18.84.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sis worked 14.4 hours and saved $271.30 for a new bike.

The equation 14.4x=271.30 could be used to represent how much she earned per hour.

Now, to find the hourly rate she worked to pay for the new bike.

The hourly rate = .

Number of hours = 14.4.

Money she saved = $271.30.

According to the question, the equation used to represent she earned per hour is:

Now, to solve the equation to get the hourly rate:

Dividing both sides by 14.4 we get:

Thus, the hourly rate rounding to the nearest hundredths place is $18.84.

Hence, the hourly rate she worked to pay for the new bike is $18.84.
