Question

Gina is making $20 an hour. She receives a 10% raise. If Gina works 40 hours a week, how much more monry will she make each week?

Answer 1

Gina is making $20 an hour.

She works 40 hours a week.

Without any raise she makes

`\$20*40=\$800`

Now if she receives a 10% raise then

`\$20*0.10=\$2`

So now she makes $20 + $2 = $22 an hour.

So with this raise, she will make

`\$22*40=\$880`

How much more money will she make each week?​

`\$880-\$800=\$80`

Therefore, Gina will make $80 more each week if she gets a raise of 10%
