Zolox worked 38 hours last week. he had $88 deducted from his earnings for taxes. if he had $273 left after the deduction, how much does zolox earn per hour?

Zolox earns $9.5 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to solve this problem we have to calculate the total earnings of Zolox before the deduction.

So:

$ 273: earning after taxes

$88 : taxes

$273+$88 =$361

Now that we have the total earnings, we have to divide it by the 38 hours to obtain the earnings per hour.

$361 / 38 hours = $9.5 per hour

In conclusion, Zolox earns $9.5 per hour.
