Answer 1

Solution:

$\frac{41.25}{5}=8.25$

Then we have that Jim´s unit rate is $8.25 per hour.

Now,

$\frac{30}{4}=7.5$

Then we have that Susan´s unit rate is $7.5 per hour.

On the other hand, we have that Pierre's hourly rate is less than Jim's but more than Susan's. If x is Pierre's hourly rate, this means that:

[tex]7.5Based on our options, we can conclude that Pierre's hourly rate is

$7.75 per hour.
