Question

Phil earns $9.50 an hour and has deductions of $55 per week. If Phil worked 45 hours per week, what will his net pay be for one year?

Answer 1

$19370

Explanation:

We need to find out how many hours Phil works in a year.

45h/week

There are 52 weeks in a year.

`45 * 52 = 2340`

Now that we know that Phil works 2340 hours a year, we can solve for how much Phil earns in a year.

`2340*9.5=22230`

Phil earns $22230 a year.

If deductions of $55 occur weekly, then we can do the following equations to solve for the value of Phil's net pay.

1.
`55*52=2860`

2.
`22230 - 2860 = x`

3. Solve for x

4.
`22230 - 2860 = 19370\\`

x = 19370

Phil's net pay is $19370 a year.

Hope it helped!

Answer 2

427.5 - 55 = 372.5 x 52 = 19370

his net pay will be 19370 if I am correct.
