Question

You are scheduled to work 33 hours per week at your new job, where you earn $14.92 per hour. How many weeks will it take you to earn $4100? [Round your answer to the nearest week]

Answer 1

Answer = 8 weeks

The amount earn per hour is $14.92

Total number of hours scheduled to work per week is 33 hours

How many weeks will it take you to earn $4100

Let the number of hours worked per week be x

Then,

Total amount earned = Number of hours worked per week x amount earn per hour

Total amount = $4100

Amount earn per hour = 14.92

4100 = x * 14.92

4100 = 14.92x

Divide both sides by 14.92

`\begin{gathered} (4100)/(14.92)\text{ = }(14.92x)/(14.92) \\ x\text{ = }(4100)/(14.92) \\ x\text{ = 274 . 798 hours} \end{gathered}`

Since, you are scheduled to work 33 hours per week

The number of week worked = 274.798 / 33

The number of weeks worked = 8.33 weeks

The answer is 8 weeks

You would have worked 8 weeks before you can earn $4100
