Answer 1

Tess would make $432 for every h payday.

Explanation:

To determine how much Tess made in two weeks, we need to subtract the tip from her total pay and divide it by 2 since she gets paid every other week.

Total pay for 2 weeks = $720

Pay per check = $360

Tip = 20% of $360 = $72

Total pay for 2 weeks before tip = $720 - $72 = $648

Pay per week before tip = $648 / 2 = $324

Total pay for 2 weeks after tip = $720

Pay per week after tip = $720 / 2 = $360

To find out how much Tess would make after h paydays, we can use the formula:

Total pay = Pay per check * (1 + Tip percentage) * Number of paydays

In this case, Pay per check = $360 and Tip percentage = 20%. Therefore:

Total pay = $360 * (1 + 0.2) * h

Total pay = $432 * h

So, Tess would make $432 for every h payday.
