First step is to find the hourly pay. We know that 12 hours * hourly pay = total pay, which we can make look like $$12 \times x~=~93$$. Solve for x to get the hourly pay.

5. anonymous

Just get it alone.

6. anonymous

7. anonymous

8. anonymous

you have to divide 93 by 12 and you get 7.75 and you have divide it by 62 and you get 8

9. anonymous

Correct. Those are the steps. That's what we were doing, actually,
