Question

Leo started working for a new company that paid him $25 per hour with a hiring bonus of $100. During the first two weeks he was paid $1,200, which included the bonus. How many hours did he work during the first two weeks?

Answer 1

The number of hours of work for first two weeks is 44 hours .

Explanation:

Given as :

The money paid by company as per hour = $25 per hour

The hiring bonus money = $100

The total money paid for first two weeks = $1200

Let The number of hours of work for first two weeks = n

According to question

Total money paid for first two weeks = hiring bonus money + money paid by company as per hour × number of hours of work for first two weeks

i.e $1200 = $100 + $25 × n

Or, $1200 - $100 = $25 × n

Or, $1100 = $25 × n

∴ n =
`(1100)/(25)`

i.e n = 44

So, The number of hours of work for first two weeks = n = 44 hours

Hence, The number of hours of work for first two weeks is 44 hours . Answer
