1. Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.

- Friday:  
     $$
     3\frac{1}{3} = 3 + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{9}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{10}{3}
     $$
   
   - Saturday:  
     $$
     5\frac{5}{12} = 5 + \frac{5}{12} = \frac{60}{12} + \frac{5}{12} = \frac{65}{12}
     $$

2. Find the total number of hours worked.

- Express $$\frac{10}{3}$$ with a denominator of 12:
     $$
     \frac{10}{3} = \frac{10 \times 4}{3 \times 4} = \frac{40}{12}
     $$
   
   - Sum the hours:
     $$
     \text{Total hours} = \frac{40}{12} + \frac{65}{12} = \frac{105}{12}
     $$

3. Compute the hourly rate.

- Let the hourly rate be $$r$$. Since Cindy earned a total of $$\$105$$ over $$\frac{105}{12}$$ hours:
     $$
     r \times \frac{105}{12} = 105
     $$
   
   - Solve for $$r$$:
     $$
     r = \frac{105}{\frac{105}{12}} = 105 \times \frac{12}{105} = 12
     $$

Cindy earns $$\$12$$ per hour.
Cindy earns \$12 per hour.
