Question

PLEASE HELP QUICK!!

Timmy and Susie both work at the Monster Burger. Timmy works for 40 hours and makes 720 dollars. He has been working there longer than Susie who makes only 600 dollars in the same amount of time. Monster Burger employees are given a 50 cent raise a year. How much higher is Timmy's pay rate than Susie's? How much longer had Timmy worked at Monster Burger than Susie?

Answer 1

A. Tim's pay rate is $3/hr than Susie's

B. Tim worked 6 years longer than Susie

Explanation:

Timmy makes $720 in 40 hrs

=> he makes 720/40 = $18.00/hr

Susie makes $600 in 40 hrs

=> she makes 600/40 = $15.00/hr

So Tim makes 18 - 15 = $3/hr than Susie

50 cent = $0.5

If pay raise is $0.5/yr

=> 3/0.5 = 6 yr

Tim worked 6 years longer than Susie
