The answer is D. $9.00
$16.50 x 6 = $99
so 99 divided by 11 is 9

Answer:

Option D - The driver earned $9 for each delivery.

Explanation:

Given scenario is :

Hourly wage for the driver = $16.50

Total number of hours worked in a day = 6

So, total earning for the day =
16.50*6=99 dollars

Now, she made 11 deliveries in $99

So, each delivery cost =
(99)/(11)=9

Hence, the driver earned $9 for each delivery.
