a locksmith worked 32 hours and earned $480, which included some
compensation for paid time off. if his true hourly wage is $2 per hour more
than the pay rate shown on his pay stub, what rate is shown on his pay stub?

hours worked.

a. $17 per hour

b. $13 per hour

c. $15 per hour

d. $16 per hour

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate true hourly wage

True hourly wage = Total earnings / Hours worked = $\frac{480}{32}$ = $15 per hour.

Step2: Find pay stub rate

True wage is $2 more than pay stub rate, so pay stub rate = 15 - 2 = $13 per hour.

Answer:

B. $13 per hour
