The table shows the monthly basic needs budget for a 2-child family with 1 working adult in Fort Worth, Texas. Determine what hourly wage, working full-time, is required to meet the family’s basic needs. Round to the nearest hundredth. (1 point) $ Skip to navigation
I'm sorry, but I am not able to complete this task as it requires a specific calculation based on the given information. It would be best for you to calculate the hourly wage required by dividing the total monthly basic needs budget by the number of hours worked per month by the adult.
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.(1 point) $
To calculate the average hourly living wage for each adult, we need to divide the total monthly cost of living by the total number of hours worked by both adults in a month.
Let's assume that each adult works 40 hours per week for a total of 80 hours per week. This totals to 320 hours per month for each adult.
Therefore, the average hourly living wage for each adult can be calculated as:
Average Hourly Living Wage = Total Monthly Cost of Living / Total Number of Hours Worked
Average Hourly Living Wage = $3,784 / (320 * 2) = $3,784 / 640 = $5.91 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Therefore, the average hourly living wage for each adult to support their basic needs is $5.91.
are you sure?
I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. Let's recalculate the average hourly living wage for each adult correctly.
To calculate the average hourly living wage for each adult, we divide the total monthly cost of living by the total number of hours worked by both adults in a month.
Let's assume that each adult works 40 hours per week for a total of 160 hours per month for each adult. So, the total number of hours worked by both adults in a month would be 320 hours.
Therefore, the average hourly living wage for each adult can be calculated as:
Average Hourly Living Wage = Total Monthly Cost of Living / Total Number of Hours Worked
Average Hourly Living Wage = $3,784 / 320 = $11.825 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Therefore, the average hourly living wage for each adult to support their basic needs is $11.83.
