Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate Gross Pay

To find the gross pay, we add the net pay to the total deductions: \[ \text{Gross Pay} = \text{Net Pay} + \text{Deductions} = 1100 + 100 = 1200 \]

Step 2: Calculate Hourly Rate

Next, we calculate the hourly rate by dividing the gross pay by the total number of hours worked: \[ \text{Hourly Rate} = \frac{\text{Gross Pay}}{\text{Hours Worked}} = \frac{1200}{40} = 30 \]

Final Answer

The hourly rate of pay is $\boxed{30}$.
