Question

Anthony currently earns $11.75 per hour.

• He will get a $0.25 raise after 6 months.
• He will get a 2.5% raise after an additional 6 months.
After Anthony gets both raises, what will his pay be for 38 hours of work?

Answer 1

first 6 months passed:

11.75+0.25= $12.00

additional 6 months passed:

2.5%= 0.025

$12.00*.025= .30

$12.00+0.30= $12.30

$12.30*38= $467.40


Answer: $467.40

Answer 2

$467.40

Explanation:

well if you take his original pay (11.75) and add 0.25, you get 12.00 per hour.

12.00 + 2.5% raise would be:

12.00 + 0.3 or 30 cents, so the pay per hour is 12.30.

then take 12.30 x 38 and you should get $467.40

so after both raises, and 38 hours of work, he will earn $467.40

hope this helps
