undefined To find out how much Ben earned per hour, follow these steps:

1. **Know the total hours worked**: Ben worked 13.5 hours.
2. **Know the total money earned**: Ben made $81.
3. **Divide the total money by the total hours**:

$$
   \text{Earnings per hour} = \frac{\text{Total money}}{\text{Total hours worked}}
   $$

$$
   \text{Earnings per hour} = \frac{81}{13.5}
   $$

4. **Calculate**:

$$
   81 ÷ 13.5 = 6
   $$

So, Ben earned **$6 per hour**.
