<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option D - The driver earned $9 for each delivery.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given scenario is :

Hourly wage for the driver = $16.50

Total number of hours worked in a day = 6

So, total earning for the day = $16.50\times6=99$ dollars

Now, she made 11 deliveries in $99

So, each delivery cost = $\frac{99}{11}=9$

Hence, the driver earned $9 for each delivery.
