Question

A. $11,200
B. $7.00
C. $0.14
D. $70.00

Answer 1

To find your earnings per hour, you can divide the total earnings by the number of hours worked.

You earned $280.00 for working 40 hours.

So, the calculation is:

\[ \text{Earnings per hour} = \frac{\text{Total earnings}}{\text{Total hours}} = \frac{280.00}{40} = 7.00 \]

Thus, your earnings per hour are $7.00.

The correct answer is B. $7.00.
