Question

A Math Tutor earns $128.00 for working 8 hours. At this hourly rate, what should the Math Tutor earn for a 35 -hour work week

Answer 1

Answer: $560

A math tutor earns $128 for working 8 hours

The amount earned = $128

Working time = 8 hours

Using the rate formula

`\begin{gathered} \text{Work = rate x time} \\ \text{Work = \$128} \\ \text{time = 8 hours} \\ 128\text{ = rate x 8} \\ \text{Divide both sides by 8} \\ \text{rate = }(128)/(8) \\ rate\text{ = \$16/ hour} \\ \text{This implies that the tutor received \$16/ hour} \\ \text{If he works for 35 hours} \\ \text{Total earned = 16 x 35} \\ \text{Total earned = \$560} \end{gathered}`

The math tutor will earned a sum of $560 if he works for 35 hours
