Question

Marcus made $500 working a 40 per hour shift last week. He also run a side business selling t-shirt for $12 each. How much money will Marcus have earned if he saves the $500 from last week, work another shift of 30 hours this week and sells 22 t-shirts online?

Answer 1

We will have to solve as follows:

*He has a constant $500

*If we divide $500 by 40 hours, we will get he makes $12.5 an hour. So, working 30 hours in the weekend he made $375.

*He sold 22 t-shirts, all worth $264.

From this, we have he made:

$500 + $375 + $ 264 = $1139
