Question

Lina works at shake shack which pays $9.25 an hour and the state takes 15% out of her salary for income taxes. She works 15 hours a week after school and on weekends for 5 weeks. How much is her paycheck a month?

Answer 1

Lina should make $471.75 a month.

Explanation:

If Lina makes $9.25 an hour and she works for 15 hours a week then you multiply those two numbers together. The resulting number is $555. Then you'll multiply that by .15 to find 15% of that number which is 83.25. After, you'll subtract that from $555, which gives you $471.75.
