Question

Bryan is paid $32 dollars per hour and works 8 hours per day. He receives one paid day off each 16 days that he works. What is his true hourly wage?

Answer 1

Over 17 days, he gets 32*17*8=4352 dollars. However, he only works for 8*16=128 hours (since he gets one day off), so 4352/128 would be 34 dollars an hour. Hope this helps!
