Question

6. A part time job offer has the following availability: 4 hours Monday through Wednesday, 5 hours Thursday, and 4 hours Friday. If the hourly wage is $7.50 per hour, how much would you earn for a week of work?

8. Jackie’s food expenses total $350 every month. This takes up exactly 1/6 of her monthly pay. What is her total monthly pay?

Answer 1

$97.50 per week and $2100

Explanation:

1. The total number of hours worked for a week is 4 + 5 + 4 which is 13. 13 hours multiplied by $7.50 per hour is $97.50 per week.

2. If $350 is 1/6 of her total monthly pay then multiply $350 by 6 to get the monthly total pay. $350 * 6 = $2100
