Respuesta :

52 weeks=1 year
40×52=2080 hours in a year
75,400÷2,080=36.25 per hour

Answer:

$36.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Winston works 40 hours a week as a pharmacist. He made $75,400 last year.

Let us find the the number of hours worked by Winston last year by multiplying 40 by 52 (Number of weeks in one year).

[tex]\text{Hours worked by Winston in one year}=40\times 52[/tex]

[tex]\text{Hours worked by Winston in one year}=2080[/tex]

Now, we will divide $75,400 by 2080 to find amount at which he is paid per hour.

[tex]\text{Wages per hour}=\frac{\$75,400}{2080}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Wages per hour}=\$36.25[/tex]

Therefore, Winston is paid $36.25 per hour.
