If you got $9.5 in 3 hours, then the pay rate is $9.5/3=$3.17 per hour.
If same pay rate is applied, in 8 hours, you'll receive $25.3.
Hopefully, this is what the question asks.

The answer is $25.33 total pay for 8 hours, or $3.17 per hour (rounded up to the nearest cent). I solved the problem algebraically by setting up a ratio 3/$9.50=8/x. I cross multiplied 8 times $9.50, then divided by 3 to get $25.33, then divided by 8 to get the average pay per hour.
