One month Mary worked 2 hours each day for 22 days. She earned a total of $121. How much did she earn per hour? __

Question

This is one of my questions on a review sheet. I cannot seem to figure it out. Please help as SOON as possible.

Answer 1

22 days, 2 hours per day; multiply them and that's 44 hours.

$121 per 44 hours is, after division, $2.75 per hour.

 

That's mathematically correct, if the year in which this took place is about 1956. Minimum labor rates are much higher nowadays.
