Answer:

$27.69

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Monthly budget (See attachment)

[tex]Month = 4\ weeks[/tex]

[tex]Week = 40 \ hour[/tex]

Required

Determine the closest hourly wage

From the attachment, the monthly budget is:

[tex]Budget = \$ 4430[/tex]

First, we calculate the closest weekly earnings.

Since a month = 4 weeks.

Then

[tex]Weekly\ Earnings = \frac{\$4430}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Weekly\ Earnings = \$1107.5[/tex]

Next, we calculate the hourly earnings:

Since 1 week = 40 hour

Then

[tex]Hourly\ Earnings = \frac{\$1107.5}{40}[/tex]

[tex]Hourly\ Earnings = \$27.6875[/tex]

From the list of options, the closest is: $27.69
