For a family of 4, the estimated monthly cost of living in Fort Worth, Texas is $3,784. If there are 2 full-time working adults in the family, what is the average hourly living wage of each in order to support their basic needs? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
To calculate the average hourly living wage, we need to find the total number of hours worked by both adults in a month. Let's assume each adult works a standard 40-hour workweek.
Total number of working hours for both adults in a week = 40 hours/adult * 2 adults = 80 hours/week
Total number of working hours for both adults in a month = 80 hours/week * 4 weeks/month = 320 hours/month
Now, we can calculate the average hourly living wage by dividing the estimated monthly cost of living by the total number of working hours:
$3,784 / 320 hours = $11.83
Therefore, the average hourly living wage for each adult is approximately $11.83.
