Answer:hourly pay for the junior employee in dollars and cents=$10.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Total amount  senior employee is being paid = amount per hour x hours worked

 = $14 × 16 = $224.00

 Total amount of junior employee  since he/ she collects $39.50 less than senior employee= $224.00 - $39.50

                             = $184.50

hourly pay of junior colleague= Total pay of junior colleague/ Hours worked

 =$184.50 / 18 hours

 = $10.25 per hour
