To find Dominic's hourly rate, we divide the amount he was paid by the number of hours he worked last week:
Hourly rate = $378.75 / 36.4 hours = $10.41
Now we can find how much money he has made this week by multiplying his hourly rate by the number of hours he has worked:
Money made this week = $10.41/hour * 22.5 hours = $234.23
Therefore, Dominic has made $234.23 this week.

To find Dominic's hourly rate, divide the total amount he was paid by the number of hours he worked.
Hourly rate = Total amount paid / Number of hours worked
Hourly rate = $378.75 / 36.4 hours
Hourly rate ≈ $10.41 (rounded to the nearest cent)
Now, to find how much money Dominic has made this week for working 22.5 hours, multiply his hourly rate by the number of hours worked:
Money made this week = Hourly rate * Number of hours worked
Money made this week = $10.41 * 22.5 hours
Money made this week ≈ $234.23 (rounded to the nearest cent)
Therefore, Dominic has made approximately $234.23 this week.
To solve this problem using division, we first need to find the hourly rate rounded to the nearest cent.
To find the hourly rate, we divide the total amount of money Dominic was paid last week ($378.75) by the total number of hours he worked last week (36.4).
Hourly rate = Total amount of money / Total number of hours
Hourly rate = $378.75 / 36.4
To perform this division, we need to round the numbers to two decimal places:
Hourly rate = $10.41
Now that we know the hourly rate is $10.41, we can calculate how much money Dominic has made this week by multiplying the hourly rate by the number of hours he has worked this week (22.5):
Amount earned this week = Hourly rate * Number of hours worked this week
Amount earned this week = $10.41 * 22.5
Again, rounding the result to two decimal places:
Amount earned this week = $234.23
Therefore, Dominic has made $234.23 so far this week.
