Question

In 2016, she earned a monthly salary of £2100 in 2017, she awarded a 3% pay increase on her monthly salary given that in 2017 she worked 42 hours per week for 45 weeks, work out her average pay per hour for the year

Answer 1

13.73 pounds

Explanation:

The computation of the average pay per hour is shown below;

Total salary after increase

= £2100 + 3% of £2100

= £2100 + £63

= £2163

And, the total number of hours worked is

= 45 weeks × 42 hours

= 1,890 hours

Now the total earnings would be

= £2163 × 12 months

= £25956

Now the average pay per hour is

= £25956 ÷ 1,890

= 13.73 pounds
