ANSWER:

18.96 dollars per hour

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

The 24-hour salary is calculated with the earnings and we subtract the taxes, as follows:

[tex]\begin{gathered} s=948.35-348.26-145.06 \\ s=455.03 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now, we divide by 24 to find out Garvin's hourly wage:

[tex]\begin{gathered} h=\frac{455.03}{24} \\ h=18.96 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the hourly wage is $18.96.
