Dereon Arnold · Answer 1

The correct answer should be C, Employee C

Step-by-step explanation:

Employee A made a total of $180 and worked for 15 hours. $180 divided by 15 hours of work = $12 an hour.

Employee B made a total of $210 and worked for 20 hours. $210 divided by 20 hours of work = $10.50 an hour.

Employee C made a total of $455 and worked for 35 hours. $455 divided by 35 hours of work = $13 an hour.

Why total earnings divided by hours worked? Because per in math is associated with dividing. When you see per, normaly you would do the first amount before the per divided by the second amount after the per.
