Expert Solution
Step 1

Total Working People = 5

Moonshine Working Hour = 3hrs

Sassafras Working Hour = 5.45 Hrs.

Harmony working Hour = 6.45 Hrs.

Peace working Hour = 4 Hrs.

Chynna Working Hour = 8 Hrs.

Total Working Hours done by all = 3+5.45+6.45+4+8 = 26.90 Hrs.

Total Wages Paid for the workers = $128.80

Rate of Work Done = $128.80 / 26.90 = $4.79
