a
b.
$83
$92
c.
d
$97
$105

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
