For the family for the estimate monthly cost of living in Fort Worth Texas is $3700.84. If there are two full-time working adults in the family, what are the hour which of each in order to support their basic needs around answer to the nearest
To find the number of hours each adult needs to work in order to support their basic needs, we need to determine the total monthly income required to cover the estimated cost of living.
Since there are two full-time working adults, let's assume they work approximately 40 hours per week each.
First, we need to find the total income needed to meet the monthly cost of living:
Total Income = Monthly Cost of Living / Number of Adults
Total Income = $3700.84 / 2
Total Income = $1850.42
Now, let's calculate the weekly income needed for each adult:
Weekly Income = Total Income / Weeks in a Month
Weekly Income = $1850.42 / 4
Weekly Income = $462.605
Finally, let's calculate the number of hours each adult needs to work:
Hours per Week = Weekly Income / Hourly Wage
Assuming a standard 40-hour workweek,
Hourly Wage = Weekly Income / 40
Hourly Wage = $462.605 / 40
Hourly Wage = $11.57
Therefore, each adult would need to work approximately 40 hours per week at an hourly wage of $11.57 in order to support their basic needs.
