Question

Juanita makes $26 an hour at work. She has to take time off work to purchase her skirt, so each hour away from work costs her $26 in lost income. Assume that returning to work takes Juanita the same amount of time as getting to a store and that it takes her 30 minutes to shop. As you answer

the following questions, ignore the cost of gasoline and depreciation of her car when traveling.

Answer 1

Answer: Local Department Store: $6.5, $118.5

Across Town: $13, $102

Neighboring City: $26, $96

Explanation:

Local Department Store: 1 hr=60 min.

60/15=4

26/4=$6.5

112+6.5=$118.5

Across Town: 60/30=2

26/2=$13

89+13=$102

Neighboring City: 60/60=1

26/1=$26

70+26=$96
