Answer 1

To determine your earnings per hour, you can use the formula for hourly wage, which is total earnings divided by the total hours worked.

In this case, you earned $280.00 for working 40 hours.

So, your earnings per hour (y) would be calculated as:

\[
y = \frac{\text{Total Earnings}}{\text{Total Hours}} = \frac{280.00}{40}
\]

Calculating that gives:

\[
y = 7.00
\]

Therefore, your earnings per hour is **$7.00**.

So the correct response is:

**$7.00**
