To calculate how much $27 an hour is per year, we need to multiply the hourly wage by the number of hours worked in a year. Assuming a typical full-time work schedule of 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year:

27 dollars/hour×40 hours/week×52 weeks/year=27×2080=56,160 dollars/year27\text{ dollars/hour}\times 40\text{ hours/week}\times 52\text{ weeks/year}=27\times 2080=56,160\text{ dollars/year}27 dollars/hour×40 hours/week×52 weeks/year=27×2080=56,160 dollars/year

So, $27 an hour is approximately $56,160 per year before taxes and deductions.
