Question

Your poor health causes you to miss one work day every two weeks. You do not get paid when you are out sick. You normally work 8 hours a day and get paid $9.29 per hour. How much pay are you losing each year

Answer 1

The annual loss of income due to missing one work day every two weeks at $9.29 per hour, working 8 hours per missed day, is $1,932.32.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount of pay being lost each year due to missing one work day every two weeks, we need to consider the weekly work schedule and hourly wage.

Step-by-Step Calculation

1. 
   
3. First, determine the hourly wage and the number of hours missed per day. In this case, the hourly wage is $9.29 and each missed day accounts for 8 hours of work.
4. 
   
6. Second, calculate the daily loss of income due to illness. Multiply the hourly wage by the number of hours missed: $9.29 x 8 = $74.32.
7. 
   
9. Third, calculate how many work days are missed per year. Since one work day is missed every two weeks, and there are 52 weeks in a year, there would be a total of 52 / 2 = 26 missed work days per year.
10. 
    
12. Finally, multiply the daily loss of income by the number of missed work days per year to find the annual loss: $74.32 x 26 = $1,932.32.

The annual loss of income due to missing one day of work every two weeks at an hourly wage of $9.29 is $1,932.32.

Answer 2

So you miss one day every two weeks
4 weeks in a month
2 days a month are missed
2 x 12 is 24(24 days you miss a year)
9.29 x 8 = 74.32 a day is how much you're paid.
So, if you miss 74.32 two days out of every month that'd be 148.64 because you miss two days of 74.32 and 74.32 x 2 = 148.64
12 months in a year
148.64 every month x 12 months a year

1783.68

But when I searched online, it said there is 52 weeks in a year.
If we go about the problem with 52 weeks in a year then this is the problem solution

26 days you miss
74.32 x 26

= 1932.32
