Question

A person paid by the hour works 15 hours a week and makes $502. How

much would they make if they work 34 hours?

Answer 1

$1137.87

Explanation:

Frist, we will find the hourly rate.

Given 15 hours = $502,

1 hour =
`(502)/(15) \\` =
`33(7)/(15)`

Note: Will leave the rate as a fraction as to maintain maximum accuracy.

34 hours =
`33(7)/(15)*34` = $1137.87 (nearest cent)
