To find the hourly wage rate, we first need to subtract the fixed payment from the total earnings:

Total earnings - Fixed payment = Earnings from work

$100 - $20 = $80

Next, we need to divide the earnings from work by the number of hours worked:

$80 / 14 = $5.71

Therefore, the hourly wage rate is $5.71. However, since we are looking for the answer in the given options, the closest one to $5.71 is $8 (choice D).
