Answer 1

To find out how much John earns per hour, we need to divide his weekly earnings by the number of hours he works in a week.

John works 5 days a week, with 8 hours per day, so he works a total of 5 * 8 = 40 hours in a week.

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

So the correct answer is $12.50 an hour.
