Question

Winston works 40 hours a week as a pharmacist. If he made $75,400 last year, how much was he paid per hour

Answer 1

52 weeks=1 year
40×52=2080 hours in a year
75,400÷2,080=36.25 per hour

Answer 2

$36.25

Explanation:

We have been given that Winston works 40 hours a week as a pharmacist. He made $75,400 last year.

Let us find the the number of hours worked by Winston last year by multiplying 40 by 52 (Number of weeks in one year).

`\text{Hours worked by Winston in one year}=40* 52`

`\text{Hours worked by Winston in one year}=2080`

Now, we will divide $75,400 by 2080 to find amount at which he is paid per hour.

`\text{Wages per hour}=(\$75,400)/(2080)`

`\text{Wages per hour}=\$36.25`

Therefore, Winston is paid $36.25 per hour.
