Answer:
$ 38 per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, she works 9 hours per day.
So, the number of hours she worked in 18 days = 18 × 9 = 162 hours,
Also, it is given that, she receives one paid day off for each 18 day that she works,
Thus, she is paid for 9 hours in each day,
⇒ Total number of hours, she is paid = 19 × 9 = 171 hours,
She is paid $36 per hour,
⇒ Total amount she is paid = 171 × 36 = $ 6156,
[tex]\text{Her actual wages per hour}=\frac{\text{Total amount she paid}}{\text{Total hours she worked}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{6156}{162}[/tex]
[tex]=38[/tex]
Hence, her true hourly wages is $ 38 .
