Question

Darren worked 28 hours at $3.15 per hour. He made the following tips:$18, $16, $20, $30, and $18. What is his average hourly wage?a. $58b. $20.40c. $5.80d. $6.79

Answer 1

In order to get the average hourly wage we have to compute the total earnings and then divide it by the total hours:

`\begin{gathered} E=(28\cdot3.15)+18+16+20+30+18=190.2 \\ Av=(E)/(t)=(190.2)/(28h)=6.79 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the average hourly wage is 6.79 dollars per hour. Answer d.
