Question

Assume these are weekly. Sarah worked 18 hours at $9 a hour. Taxes were 30%. How much money was left?

Answer 1

Since she worked for 18 hours

Since she earns $9 per hour

Then her total earn = 18 * 9 = $162

Since the taxes were 30%

Assume that her total is 100%

Then the money left = 100% - 30% = 70% of her total

Let us find 70% of her total

The money left = 70% * 162 = 70/100 * 162 = $113.4

There was $113.4 left
