Question

An employee earns $200 for 14 hours work. Assuming he is paid by the hour, how much will this employee earn in 35 hours?

Answer 1

He will earn 500 dollar assuming he is paid by the hour.

Answer 2

If we know that the employee ears $200 for 14 goes of work we can divide 200 by 14 to figure out how much he is payed per hour. It isn't a full number, so we'll round to the fourth decimal place. That would give us $14.2858. Now that we know how much they are payed per hour, all we nee to do is multiply 14.2858 by 35, which gives us our answer, $500!

The employee is payed $500 for 35 hours of work.
