    Her wage on the 8th day is $105 ⇒ answer d

    Step-by-step explanation:

    * Lets explain how to solve the problem

    - The average of set of data = The sum of data/the number of data

    - The sum of data = the average of set of data * the number of data

    ∵ Cindy worked for 15 consecutive days

    ∵ She is earning an average wage of $91 per day

    ∴ Her total earning = 91 * 15 = $1365

    ∵ Her average earning during the first 7 days is $87 per day

    ∴ Her total earning in the first 7 days = 87 * 7 = $609

    ∵ Her average earning during the last 7 days is $93 per day

    ∴ Her total earning in the last 7 days = 93 * 7 = $651

    - Her total earning in the 14 days is the sum of the earning in the

    first 7 days and the earning during the last 7 days

    ∵ Her total earning in the 14 days = 609 + 651 = $1260

    ∵ Her total earning in the 15 days is $1365

    - To find her wage on the 8th day subtract her wage of the 14 days

    from her wage of the 15 days

    ∴ Her wage on the 8th day = 1365 - 1260 = $105

    * Her wage on the 8th day is $105
