The technician is paid $20 per flat rate hour, and he worked 50 hours. Therefore, he earns 50 hours * $20 = $1000. Since he worked 50 hours, his actual hourly rate is $1000 / 50 hours = $20 per hour. However, the question asks for the rate based on a 40-hour workweek, so $1000 / 40 hours = $25 per hour.
