The question is incomplete:

Brenda Peoples earned $43,680 last year. Her usual work schedule is 50 hours a week . What were her average earnings 28. Per month 29. Per week 30. Per hour

Answer:

28. Per month: $3,640

29. Per week: $840

30. Per hour: $16.8

Explanation:

28. Per month:

As you have the amount she earned last year and a year has 12 months, you can divide her earnings by 12 to find her average earnings per month:

$43,680/12= $3,640

29. Per week:

A year has 52 weeks, so to determine her average earnings per week, you have to divide the amount she earned last year by 52:

$43,680/52= $840

30. Per hour:

As you already know that Brenda earned $840 per week, you can divide that amount by the number of hours that she works in a week, to determine her salary per hour:

$840/50= $16.8
