Question

Gabriella earns $15 an hour and gets a 12% raise. With her raise, how much will she earn after working 40 hours?

Answer 1

Explanation:

15x 12%=1.8

so he earns $1.80 for the raise

so 15x1.8=27

So now he earns 27 for every hour.

27x40=1080

So now he earns $1080 in 40 hours.

Answer 2

15 x .12 = 1.80 , this shows you how much MORE money she will be making every hour, additional to the $15 she already makes.

15 + 1.80 , is 16.80. This will be the NEW amount she makes every hour.

16.80 x 40, $672. This amount will represent how much money she makes in fourth hours, AFTER her raise. Hope this helps :)
