To calculate the average hourly living wage, we need to find the total number of hours worked by both adults in a month. Let's assume each adult works a standard 40-hour workweek.
Total number of working hours for both adults in a week = 40 hours/adult * 2 adults = 80 hours/week
Total number of working hours for both adults in a month = 80 hours/week * 4 weeks/month = 320 hours/month
Now, we can calculate the average hourly living wage by dividing the estimated monthly cost of living by the total number of working hours:
$3,784 / 320 hours = $11.83
Therefore, the average hourly living wage for each adult is approximately $11.83.
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.
