Question

Select the correct answer.

How many people lost their jobs when the minimum wage increased from $12 to $18?

​

Answer 1

Total number of people lost their jobs = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given diagram,

When the wage is $ 12,

Total numbers of workers = 33

and

When the wage is $ 18,

Total numbers of workers = 18

So,

Change in workers during the wage increased from $12 to $18 = 33 - 18 = 15

∴ we get

Total number of people lost their jobs = 15
