Question

A delivery driver earns a fixed amount for each delivery she makes, and yesterday her average hourly wage was $16.50 an hour. If she worked 6 hours yesterday and made 11 deliveries, how much does she earn for each delivery made? A. $9.90 B. $5.50 C. $5.00 D. $9.00

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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.
