Question

Consider the two ads for an accounting clerk. If you worked 40 hours per week for 50 weeks, how much would each company pay per hour?

(MUST INCLUDE EXPLANATION)

ad 1: $18,500

ad 2: 16,500

Answer 1

The answers are:
9.25 & 8.25

Answer 2

Ad 1: 9.25/hr Ad 2: 8.25/hr

Explanation:

1. Find how many hours you work:

• 40*50 = 2000 hours worked

2. Divide the pay by the hour to find the cost:

• 18500 / 2000 = $9.25
• 16500 / 2000 = $8.25

3. That is the answer :)
