Answer:

$36.25

Explanation:

We have been given that Winston works 40 hours a week as a pharmacist. He made $75,400 last year.

Let us find the the number of hours worked by Winston last year by multiplying 40 by 52 (Number of weeks in one year).

$\text{Hours worked by Winston in one year}=40* 52$

$\text{Hours worked by Winston in one year}=2080$

Now, we will divide $75,400 by 2080 to find amount at which he is paid per hour.

$\text{Wages per hour}=(\$75,400)/(2080)$

$\text{Wages per hour}=\$36.25$

Therefore, Winston is paid $36.25 per hour.
