A driver travels 2 hours at 60 miles per hour ,during which her car gets 30 miles per gallon of gasoline. she is paid $0.50 per mile, and her only expense is gasoline at $2.00 per gallon. what is her net rate of pay in dollars per hour after this expense

The net pay is given by the difference between the total pay and the

expenses.

Reasons:

Number of hours of driving = 2 hours

Speed of travel = 60 mph

Distance traveled per gallon of gasoline = 30 miles

Amount she is paid per mile = $0.50

Expense = $2.00 per gallon gasoline

Required:

Her net rate of pay per hour after expenses

Her net rate of pay in dollars per hour after the expense = $26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Driver travels for 2 hours.

Speed = 60 miles per hour

Her  car runs at the rate of 30 miles per gallon of gasoline.

She is paid $0.50 per mile.

Expenses is price of gasoline at the rate of $2.00 per gallon.

To find her net rate of pay in dollars  per hour.

1 gallon of gasoline cost = $2.00

Expenses for 2 gallons of gasoline =

So, in one hour she gets paid =$30 and her expenses for an hour drive = $4.

Thus, her net rate of pay in dollars per hour after the expense =
