Question

based it on a four-week month and 40-hour work week which amount it's closest to the combined hourly wage needed for this family to pay its budgeted expenses

Answer 1

First, we have to find the total of work hours per month, which is 4 multiplied by 40 , the result is 160 hours per month. Then divide the budgeted expenses by the total of hours, $4430 ÷ 160 hours = $27,7 / hour .

The answer is $27,7 per hour.
