Question

A woman making $25 an hour and gets a %15 raise. After the raise , how much does she earn for working 8 hours?

Answer 1

The answer is $230.

Firstly, you would need to work out the raise. To do this, you would work out that 15% of $25 is $3.75, so when you add that to $25 you would get $28.75.

To find the total amount of money, you would multiple the money per hour by 8 to get $230.

Answer 2

$28.75 an hour.

If she worked $25 an hour, then got a raise of 15%...It turns into $28.75.

To get the days income, you simply multiply the rate by the time. $28.75 times 8 to get $230.

Hope this helps!
