Question

Tony works 22 hours per week. His take home pay is $15.80 per hour. If Tony is able to save all of his earnings, how long will it take him to save at least $4,800?

a.
12 weeks
b.
13 weeks
c.
14 weeks
d.
15 weeks

Answer 1

let the total week be w

w(22*15.80)=4800

w(347.6)=4800

w=4800÷347.6

w=13.8...

thus the total week is c. 14 weeks

Explanation:

we multiply 15.80 with 22 to know how much he earns per week

divide $4800 with his weekly pay to find out total week.
