Question

took a job through an employment agency. The job pays $96K per year. He must pay a fee to the employment agency. The fee is 23% of his first five weeks' pay. How much money must Xavier pay to the agency, to the nearest cent?

Answer 1

First, let's find the weekly payment

52 weeks = 1 yeay

If he is paid $96 000 per year

Then his weekly payment is $96 000 /52 = $1846.15

His payment in 5 weeks is 5 x $1846.15 = $9230.75

The fee he must pay is 23% of $9230.75

= 23/100 x $9230.75

= $2123.0725

≈ $2123.07
