Answer 2

$22

Explanation:

Ward works 9 hours each day

So, he works in 6 days for hours =
`9* 6 = 54`

So, he works for 54 hours in 1 week.

So, He sells 11 fax machine in 54 hours

So, he sells fax machines in 1 hour =
`(11)/(54)`

He earns $108 for each fax machine

So, He earns for
`(11)/(54)`fax machine =
`(11)/(54) * 108`

=
`22`

Hence his average hourly wage is $22.
