8. Helen has an annual salary of $45,000. She
works 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year. How
much does Helen earn per hour?
A $12 C $21
B $17.50 D $22.50
We can use the formula:
hourly wage = annual salary / (hours worked per week x weeks worked per year)
Plugging in the values we get:
hourly wage = 45,000 / (40 x 50) = $22.50
Therefore, option D is the correct answer. Helen earns $22.50 per hour.
