The hourly wage can also be called dollars per hour.

$9.40 per hour

Practice makes perfect
To find our hourly wage, we need to divide the total earnings by the number of hours we worked. Hourly wage=Total earnings/Hours worked Let's use this equation and the fact that we earned $ 352.50 by working for 37 12 hours.
Hourly wage=352.50/37 12
Hourly wage=352.50/37.5
Hourly wage=9.40
The hourly wage is $9.40.
