Question

SOMEBODY, PLEASE HELP ASAP PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Jack earns 2 cents per second. Jack works 40 hours a week. Determine how many dollars per year jack earns.

Answer 1

1 hour has 3600 seconds

to get how many dollars Jack earns we have to do this

3600 sec x $0.02 = $72

40 weeks x $72 = $2880

Answer 2

$149,760

Explanation:

As:

• 1 minute = 60 seconds
• 1 hour = 60 minutes

⇒ 1 hour = 60 × 60 seconds = 3600 seconds

As:

• 1 year = 52 weeks
• Jack works 40 hours per week.

⇒ 52 × 40 = 2080 hours per year

Therefore, the number of seconds Jack works per year is:

⇒ 2080 × 3600 = 7,488,000 seconds

If Jack earns $0.02 per second, then the number of dollars per year he earns is:

⇒ $0.02 × 7,488,000 = $149,760
