    8.5 $

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let Kiran 's salary is x $ per hour

    hence cousin 's salary is x + 30% of x per hour

    or x+0.3x or 1.3x per hour

    cousin 's earning 27 (1.3x) = 35.1 x

    kiran 's earning 23x

    hence 35.1x + 23x = 493.85

    58.1x = 493.85

    x = 493.85 / 58.1

    x = 8.5 $
