Answer:

an average actor earning average wage will make about 70,000 dollars per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve for annual wages by doing the multiplication between the hours per week among the total weeks available to work per year.

40 hours per week x 50 weeks = 2,000 labor hours

This give us a total of 2,000 labor hours

we now multiply by the dollar cost for artist on average:

x $35 dollar per hour = $ 70,000
