Question

Julio Montoya earns $16.80 per hour for a 40-hour work week. How much more per week would Montoya earn if he received a 10 percent increase in his hourly rate?

Answer 1

He would make $67.20 more a week if he got the increase.

Explanation:

10% of $16.80 is $1.68. Add $1.68 to $16.80. You get $18.48. Multiply that by 40 hours. You get $739.20. Next, subtract $672 from $739.20. Your answer to that is how much more he'll make if he gets the increase.
