The hourly wages of two restaurants are as follows.

Restaurant 1: $16.25, $15.99, $14.50, $16.00, $17.10, $15.50, $16.00
Restaurant 2: $18.15, $14.99, $17.75, $16.99, $15.45, $15.50, $17.05

What is the difference in the ranges of the hourly wages of these two restaurants?

$2.60

$0.56

$2.46

$3.16

To find the range of hourly wages for each restaurant, we need to subtract the lowest wage from the highest wage.

For Restaurant 1:
Highest wage = $17.10
Lowest wage = $14.50
Range = $17.10 - $14.50 = $2.60

For Restaurant 2:
Highest wage = $18.15
Lowest wage = $14.99
Range = $18.15 - $14.99 = $3.16

The difference in the ranges is:
$3.16 - $2.60 = $0.56

Therefore, the answer is $0.56.
