Round answers to the nearest cent. Assume that the pickup time was later in the day than the return time so that no late fees were applied. A typist for Kelly Services reports to $3 \mathrm{E}^{\prime}$ 's Properties for work at $10: 00 \mathrm{A} . \mathrm{M}$, and leaves at 6: 00 P.M. after having typed from the end of page 8 to the end of page 50 of a proposal. $3 \mathrm{E}^{\prime}$ s pays $\$ 120$ for the typist's services. a) Find the rate of pay, in dollars per hour. b) Find the average typing rate, in number of pages per hour. c) Find the rate of pay, in dollars per page.

Key Concepts

Average Work Rate

This concept refers to calculating the average amount of work completed in a unit of time. It is determined by dividing the total work done, like pages typed, by the total time spent. The average rate provides insight into productivity levels and helps in planning and assessing performance over time.

Rounding

Rounding is the process of reducing the number of digits in a number while keeping its value close to the original. In many financial and work-related calculations, rounding to a specific precision (such as the nearest cent) is necessary to ensure clarity in reporting and compliance with standard practices.

Time Interval Calculation

This concept involves determining the amount of time elapsed between two given points. In work-related problems, calculating the total hours worked is essential and typically involves subtracting the start time from the end time. This forms the basis for further computations like pay rates or productivity measures.

Unit Rate Computation

The unit rate is obtained by dividing a total amount by the number of units, such as dollars per hour or dollars per page. In practical terms, it is used to determine how much is earned or spent for each individual unit of time or work, allowing for straightforward comparisons and budgeting.
