much does Helen earn per hour?
A $12 C $21
B $17.50 D $22.50

Answer 1

We can use the formula:

hourly wage = annual salary / (hours worked per week x weeks worked per year)

Plugging in the values we get:

hourly wage = 45,000 / (40 x 50) = $22.50

Therefore, option D is the correct answer. Helen earns $22.50 per hour.
