Given:
Alan salary P (in dollars) when he works h hours is represented by the equation
[tex]P=12.50h[/tex]
To find:
The earning per hour.
Solution:
We have,
[tex]P=12.50h[/tex]
Here, P is total salary and h is number of hours he works.
[tex]\text{Earning per hour}= \dfrac{\text{Total salary}}{\text{Number of hours}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Earning per hour}= \dfrac{12.50h}{h}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Earning per hour}=12.50[/tex]
Therefore, the earning per hour is $12.50.
