Answer:
$13.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that he's paid = $515
Sold equipment worth = $1500
His commission of 16% for the week therefore
= ( 16/100 ) × 1500
= 0.16 × 1500
= 240
So, commission in $ received for the week = $240
Actually salary less commission = 515 - 240
= $275
If he worked 20 hours in the week and made $275
Hourly rate therefore = Total salary less commission ÷ total number of hours
= 275 ÷ 20
= 13.75
Therefore his hourly rate = $13.75
