To find the average hourly living wage for each adult, we need to calculate the total monthly income needed to support the family.
Since there are 2 full-time working adults, we can divide the estimated monthly cost of living by 2 to find the amount needed for each adult.
$3,784 / 2 = $1,892
Next, we need to determine how many hours each adult works in a month. Assuming a full-time job is 40 hours a week and there are about 4 weeks in a month:
40 hours/week x 4 weeks/month = 160 hours/month
Now we can divide the monthly income needed for each adult by the number of hours they work in a month:
$1,892 / 160 hours = $11.83
Therefore, the average hourly living wage for each adult in order to support their basic needs is $11.83, rounded to the nearest hundredth.
For a family of 4, the estimated monthly cost of living in Fort Worth, Texas is $3,784. If there are 2 full-time working adults in the family, what is the average hourly living wage of each in order to support their basic needs? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth
