John earns $500 in a work week. A regular work week for John consists of 5 work days with 8 hours a day. How much does John earn each hour?

Question

$10.50 an hour

$11.00 an hour

$12.50 an hour

$13.00 an hour

Answer 1

To calculate how much John earns per hour, we need to divide his total earnings for the week by the total number of hours he works.

The total number of hours John works in a week is 5 days * 8 hours/day = <<5*8=40>>40 hours.

So, John earns $500 / 40 hours = $<<500/40=12.50>>12.50 per hour.

Therefore, the correct answer is $12.50 an hour.
