To find the hourly rate of Huynh, we need to calculate how much he earned in total for the 22 molds he created and then divide that by the total number of hours he worked.

Total amount earned = 22 molds x $38.25 per mold = $841.50

Total hours worked = 40

Hourly rate = Total amount earned / Total hours worked = $841.50 / 40 = $21.04

Therefore, the answer is choice B.
