$307 per week

Explanation:

Hello!

In 1 year, a graduate student earned $15,964. We are asked to find the amount earned per week if what was earned is constant weekly.

Given that there are 52 weeks in a year:

• 
  `52x = $15964`, where x is the amount earned per week

Solve for x

• 
  `52x = $15964`
• 
  `x = (15964)/(52)`
• 
  `x = 307`

The student earns $307 per week for a year.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Since we know how many weeks are in a year, we can find out how much money the student earned per week.

$15,964 in a year / 52 weeks in a year = $307 in a week
