Question

Olivia was just hired in an office, and her starting salary is $59,000. She gets 13 sick days, and 14 paid vacation days. Her contract includes 245 8-hour days. If she takes all her sick and vacation days, what is she paid hourly? [Round your answer to the nearest cent]

Answer 1

To solve this problem firs we have to calculate hou much is she paid per day so we divide the starting salary by the number of days so:

`(59000)/(245)=240.816`

now we can rest the total number of days minus the days she was sick so:

`245-13=232`

So now we calculate the new salary:

`232\cdot240.816=55869.312`
