Question

Jackson works as a veterinary technician and earns $12.20 per hour. Jackson normally works 40 hours a week. And a normal week, what is his total pay before taxes and other deductions

Answer 1

He would made $488 a week before taxes

Answer 2

p = 12.20h

30.5 hours

Explanation:

Jackson works as a veterinary technician and earns per hour = $12.2

He works in a normal week = 40 hours

Let hours = h and weekly pay = p

p = 12.20h

p = $12.20 × 40

= $488.00

Last week Jackson was ill and missed some work.

His total pay before deduction was $372.10

To find the hours he work the equation will be p = 12.20h

372.10 = 12.20h

372.10/12.20 = h

h= 30.5
