Question

Deb works 19. 5 hours at a car wash every week. She makes $12. 80 per hour. Each week, she puts 1/4 of her earnings into her saving account. How much money does deb put into her saving account each week ?

Answer 1

Let's first find out how much money she makes each week in total, since it is given the money per hour and the total hours she works every week.

19.5 = hours every week

$12.80 = money per hour.

19.5(12.80)

= $249.60, she makes every week.

Now let's find the money she deposits into her savings account, given that:-

1/4 of the 249.60 dollars is transferred into her savings account, so:

1/4 x 249.60

249.60/4

= $62.40 is put into her savings account each week.
