Julio is paid 1.3 times his normal hourly rate for each hour he works over 31 hours in a week. Last week he worked 42 hours and earned $548.13. Enter and solve an equation to find Julio's normal hourly rate, r. Complete the explanation how you know that your answer is reasonable.

$12.10 / hour

Step-by-step explanation:

42 - 31 =

1.3(11)r + 31r = 548.13

14.3r + 31r = 548.13

45.3r = 548.13

r = 12.1 / hour

whole numbers.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the average monthly rainfall (in millimeters) model r(m) for the years 1900-2009 as a function of the month number m.

as we can see m is taken for the number of months for years 1900-2009.

we know that number of months can't be a negative number or decimal number or a fraction.

so, the number of months could be only positive whole numbers.

therefore, whole numbers is more appropriate for the domain of r.
