Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find Mahesh's hourly rate, we need to divide his total earnings by the number of hours worked:
Hourly rate = total earnings ÷ number of hours
Hourly rate = $258.25 ÷ 31.25 hours
Hourly rate = $8.26 (rounded to the nearest cent)
Therefore, Mahesh earned $8.26 per hour. The closest answer choice is C, which is the correct answer. To find the hourly rate, we need to divide the total amount earned by the number of hours worked: 
Hourly rate = Total amount earned / Number of hours worked 
Hourly rate = $258.25 / 31.25 hours ≈ $8.26 per hour

Rounding to the nearest cent, we get a final answer of $8.26 per hour which is closest to option C) $8.26.
