Question

nell makes 11.78 per hour. if she works 40 hours a week and about 4 weeks per month, what is the maximum monthly rent that she can afford to pay?

Answer 1

Since there are no choices given, let us just solve how much "Nell" will earn per month.

Given: 11.78 per hour
40 hours a week
4 weeks per month

Let us multiply 11.78/hr with 40 hrs/week.
11.78 × 40 = 471.2
==> Nell will earn 471.2 per week
Multiply the result with 4 to see how much Nell will earn every month.
471.2 × 4 = 1884.8

==> Nell will earn 1884.4 per month, this means she can afford to rent and still has money left on her pocket for other basic needs.
