Answer:

The average hourly wage is $ 48.

Explanation:

Given,

The cost of each camcorder = $ 96,

Also, the working days = 4,

Each day, working hours = 8,

Thus, the total working hours = 4 × 8 = 32,

Now, the number of sold camcorder = 16,

So, the total revenue after selling them = 16 × price of each camcorder

= 16 × 96

= $ 1536

Hence, the average hourly wages =
\frac{\text{Revenue}}{\text{Number of working hours}}


=(1536)/(32)


=\$48
