Question

Assuming a fixed hourly pay rate, how much would an employee earn for working 4 hours based on this wage table? Hourly Pay Table Hours Worked 2 Money Earned $12.00 $24.00 $36.00 ? A. $36.00 B. $45.00 C. $64.00 D. $48.00

Answer 1

We have the following table

hour pay

1 12

2 24

3 36

4 ?

It seems that for each hour we work, we end up earning $12. Then, we know that if we work 3 hours we earn 36. So, if we work one more hour (4) we should add 12 to what we earn for working 3 hours. That is

`12+36\text{ = 48 }`

So we aren 48 for working 4 hours.
