A detailed illustrative scene representing a concept of machine operator job. Visualize a tranquil environment where a Caucasian male machine operator wearing safety goggles and gloves is attentively operating a large industrial machine in a spacious factory located in Fort Worth, Texas. Sunlight beams through the factory windows creating a radiant ambiance. There's a clock on the wall showing the full-time working hours. Beside the operator, on a small table, there's a calendar, symbolizing a year, and a pile of coins, representing the annual pay of the machine operator. Make sure the image contains no text.

The maximum annual pay for a machine operator job working full-time in Fort Worth, Texas, is $30,300. What is the equivalent hourly wage? Round to the nearest hundredth.

wrong

To find the equivalent hourly wage, divide the maximum annual pay by the number of hours worked in a year.

There are typically 40 hours worked per week, and about 52 weeks in a year (taking into account holidays and vacation time). So the total number of hours worked in a year is 40 hours/week * 52 weeks = 2080 hours.

Now, divide the maximum annual pay by the total number of hours worked:
$30,300 / 2080 hours = $14.56

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the equivalent hourly wage is $14.56.
