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
