Question

Avery is currently making $14 per hour at her job. Her boss gives her a 15% raise for showing good work ethic.

If she works 40 hours per week, how much more will Avery be making than before her 15% raise?
A.$15.00
B.$280.00
C.$84.00
D.$116.00

Answer 1

C) $84

Explanation:

40 x 14 = 560

she made $560 prior to raise

14 x 1.15 = 16.10

her new hourly rate is $16.10

40 x 16.1 = 644

she now earns $644 per week

644 - 560 = 84
