Calculate the annual wages for a nursing aid who earns $8.29 per hour.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isn't it: (8.29 * 40) * 52 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it depends on number of working hours per day

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well what if that is left unsaid?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and whether he/she has holiday

OpenStudy (anonymous):

At that point, one would assume 40, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why 40 though?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That information was not given.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought 40 hours a week was the standard weekly amount of hours a person works.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer options: A. $16,580 B. $15,680 C. $8,290 D. $10,120

OpenStudy (anonymous):

didn't know that but if 40 hours per week, then number of week per year = 52 40 * 52 * 8.29 = 17243.2
