If you are paid $9.00 per hour (net of all payroll deductions), how much time is required to earn enough to purchase one can of soda that costs $.30? (in seconds)

9 dollars/60 minutes= .15 cents per minute
.30 cents/.15 cents= 2 minutes
It would take two minutes to make enough money to buy one can of soda.
