Answer:

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate the variable income per job:

First job= 450 - 150= 300

Second job= 675 - 150= 525

Now, the hourly rate:

Hourly rate= total variable income / number of hours

First job= 300 / 4= $75

Second job= 525 / 3= $175

It is probably that the second job was 7 hours long. If not, he doesn't charge the same amount per hour
