Answer:

[tex]\$17.59\ per\ hour[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The Susan's hourly wage, must be equal at least to the sum of her monthly household expenses divided by the number of hours worked at month

Remember that

[tex]1\ year=52\ weeks\\1\ year=12\ months[/tex]

She works 40 hours  per week

so

[tex]40(52)=2,080\ hours\ per\ year[/tex]

[tex]2,080/12=\frac{520}{3}\ hours\ per\ month[/tex]

Find out the monthly household expenses

Sum all the expenses

Rent+ Monthly Bills+Entertainment and Food+Savings

substitute the values

[tex]\$875+\$1,276+\$648+\$250=\$3,049[/tex]

Find out the hourly wage

[tex]\$3,049:\frac{520}{3}\ hours=\$17.59\ per\ hour[/tex]
