Sean ears $300 in a regular work week. A regular work week for Sean consists of 5 work days with 8 hours a day. How much money
does Sean eam each hour?

Answer 1

Sean earns $7.5 in each hour.

Explanation:

Given:

Money earned by Sean = $300

Number of hours worked in a day = 8 hrs

Number of days of work in a week = 5

We need to find Money earned in each hour.

First we will find Total hours work in a week.

Total hours work in a week is equal to Number of hours worked in a day multiplied by number of days work in a week.

Framing in equation form we get;

Total hours worked in a week =
`8*5 = 40\ hrs`

Now we will find money earned for each hour.

Money earned each hour will be calculated by Dividing Total Money earned in a week by Total number of hours worked in a week.

Framing in equation form we get;

Money earned each hour =
`(300)/(40) = \$7.5`

Hence Sean earns $7.5 in each hour.
