$450/week

30.5 hours/week

450/30.5 = $14.75

The answer is A (14.75/hour).

Answer:

Option A. $14.75

Step-by-step explanation:

A new clerk in your office earns per week = $450

Each week she works for = 30.5 hours

her earnings per hour = \(\frac{\text{Total earnings}}{\text{working hours}}\)

Her earning per hour =  \(\frac{450}{30.5}\) = $14.754098 ≈ $14.75

Her hourly rate would be $14.75.

Option A. $14.75 is the answer.
