Question #2:

Answer 1

Answer:

$\ 17.59\ per\ hour$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The Susan's hourly wage, must be equal at least to the sum of her monthly household expenses divided by the number of hours worked at month

Remember that

$1\ year=52\ weeks\\1\ year=12\ months$

She works 40 hours  per week

so

$40(52)=2,080\ hours\ per\ year$

$2,080/12=\frac{520}{3}\ hours\ per\ month$

Find out the monthly household expenses

Sum all the expenses

Rent+ Monthly Bills+Entertainment and Food+Savings

substitute the values

$\ 875+\ 1,276+\ 648+\ 250=\ 3,049$

Find out the hourly wage

$\ 3,049:\frac{520}{3}\ hours=\ 17.59\ per\ hour$
