Problem
A driver travels for 
hours at 
miles per hour, during which her car gets 
miles per gallon of gasoline. She is paid 
per mile, and her only expense is gasoline at 
per gallon. What is her net rate of pay, in dollars per hour, after this expense?
Solution
Since the driver travels 60 miles per hour and each hour she uses 2 gallons of gasoline, she spends $4 per hour on gas. If she gets $0.50 per mile, then she gets $30 per hour of driving. Subtracting the gas cost, her net rate of pay per hour is 
.
