To find out how much Ben earned per hour at the Fun Station, we can set up an equation using the information given. Let's define the variable for Ben's earnings per hour as "E."
Step 1: Write the equation:
Ben's total earnings = Earnings per hour * Number of hours worked
Given that Ben worked 13.5 hours in a week, we can plug in the values we know:
E = Earnings per hour * 13.5
To find the earnings per hour, we need to know Ben's total earnings for the week. If that information is provided, we can solve for E by dividing the total earnings by 13.5 hours. This will give us the amount Ben earned per hour at the Fun Station.
