I'd hire the mom instead, using necessary means

Thanks for the translation.
The eyes are strange in this chapter, the all look into strange direction (each on its own)

288,000 Yen in USD Is 1,924.40 USD.
So that's how much she would make in a singular real time hour.
But in Dungeon Hour, at 144 hours, that's 13.36$ per hour.
I'll leave it to you guys to decide if that's a good deal or not.

As more food for thought... If there was no possibility of getting stronger as a result of participating, it sounds like a bad deal. That's below U.S.'s minimum wage, and that's what people can get for jobs that don't involve you risking your life. This job would involve actual danger, so there needs to be some sort of hazard pay to compensate for the extra risk.

But if you factor in stuff like getting special abilities from participating, that could be viewed as adequate compensation since it's an exclusive perk of this job. And if those abilities help her live longer than if she didn't have them, then it probably is worth it.

The key fact you're overlooking is living costs in Japan are not the same as in the US, that USD$13 goes a lot further in Japan. As all the tourists visiting over the past year can attest, for example you can get a decent meal for around USD$5. Japan's current minimum wage seems to be around ¥1000.
Not saying it's completely reasonable, but still far better then your initial assumptions.
