To solve this type of problem, you start by adding the 10 and 15 hours.. which equals 25.
Then, you take the total amount of $280.00 and divide that by the 25 hrs.. which equals 11.2, or in money $11.20
So, Xavier's rate per hour is $11.20

if $x$ is his pay rate for one hour of work, he is paid $10x$ for working 10 hours and $15x$ for working 15 hours.

$$10x+15x = 280$$$$25x=280$$Divide both sides of the equation by 25 to find $x$, his hourly rate
