You are paid $78 $78 for 6 1 2 612 hours of work. What is your rate of pay?

Relevance Best Answer: Something is wrong with the question.

$78 / 612 hours ≈ $0.13 per hour (in other words, less than 13 * cents * per hour).

To figure the hourly rate, take the total pay and divide by the hours.

For example, if it was $78 for * 6 * hours, it would be:

78 / 6 = $13 per hour.

Or more likely, it was $78 for * 6½ * hours:

78 / 6½

= 78 / 13/2

= 78 x 2/13

= 78/13 x 2

= 6 x 2

= $12 per hour
