Question

3) T'challa makes $55 an hour and works 30 hours a week. He loses 20% of his paycheck to

taxes and SSI. How much does he make each week?
(explain answer)

Answer 1

$1320

Explanation:

Without taxes and SSI, T'challa would make 55x30 = $1650.

20 % of 1650 is equivalent to 1/5 x 1650.

1/5 x 1650 = 1650/5 = 330

Therefore he makes 1650 - 330 = $1320

Answer 2

$1,320

Explanation:

~Multiply to find how much money he made that week

55 * 30 = $1,650

~Multiply by 20% then subtract

1,650 * 0.2 = 330

1.650 - 330 = 1,320

Best of Luck!
