To calculate Tameka's hourly wage, you can follow these steps:
1. First, determine the total number of hours she works in a year:
- There are 52 weeks in a year, so:
\[
\text{Total hours per year} = 49 \text{ hours/week} \times 52 \text{ weeks/year} = 2548 \text{ hours/year}
\]
2. Now, divide her annual salary by the total number of hours worked per year to find her hourly wage:
\[
\text{Hourly wage} = \frac{83,616 \text{ dollars/year}}{2548 \text{ hours/year}} \approx 32.8 \text{ dollars/hour}
\]
