Question

sean earns $300 in a regular work week. A regular work week for sean consists of 5 work days with 8 hours a day. How much money does sean earn each hour

Answer 1

According to the problem, a regular work week consists of 5 work days with 8 hours a day. This is equivalent to say:

5 x 8 hours every regular work week.

That is:

40 hours every regular work week

then, the money earned per hour is:

`\frac{300\text{ }dollars}{40\text{ hours}}\text{ = 7.5 dollars per hour}`

then we can conclude that the correct answer is:

$7.5
