Question

While a junior in high school, Javier accepted a job stocking shelves at a local grocery

store. He makes an hourly wage of $8.50. He is paid semimonthly and works an
average of 20 hours per week.
What is Javier's monthly income?
$1,473.33
$680
$2,040.00
$736.67

Answer 1

he works 20 per week, so in a month, he will have 20*4= 80 hours, here 4 is the number of weeks in one month, and we have as information that he is paid for one hour $8.50, so you can do: 80*($8.50)= $680

Explanation:

(20hours)*(4 weeks)= 80hours

(80hours)*($8.50)= $680
