Notes before we start:

Semi-monthly means you get paid twice a week. We will find out the net pay in 2 weeks to see how much pays better.

Step-by-step explanation:

Job A pays $15 an hour and whoever is working works 40 hours a week. We can multiply to find how much he/she earns in 2 weeks.

15 * 40 * 2 = $1,200

Job B pays $1,375 semi monthly which means that he/she got paid that much money in 2 weeks.

Answer:

Job B pays better.

Best of Luck!
