To find the equivalent hourly wage, we divide the annual pay by the number of hours worked in a year.
Assuming the person works 2080 hours in a year (40 hours per week for 52 weeks), the equivalent hourly wage is $121,991 / 2080 ≈ $58.65.
The difference between the equivalent hourly wage and the living hourly wage is $58.65 - $53.30 = $5.35.
Therefore, the correct answer is $5.35.

I apologize for the error. The correct calculation is as follows:
To find the equivalent hourly wage, we divide the annual pay by the number of hours worked in a year.
Assuming the person works 2080 hours in a year (40 hours per week for 52 weeks), the equivalent hourly wage is $121,991 / 2080 ≈ $58.61.
The difference between the equivalent hourly wage and the living hourly wage is $58.61 - $53.30 = $5.31.
Therefore, the correct answer is $5.31.
