She earns £420 each week.

Lillian decides that she is going to work 7 hours each day for only 4 days a week. Her earnings are to be reduced by 20%.
Lillian thinks that this reduction is reasonable.

How much will Lillian earn working 4 days a week?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Lillian decides that she is going to work 7 hours each day for only 4 days a week. Her earnings are to be reduced by 20%.

Answer 2

$336

Explanation:

When Lilian works 7 hours a day for 5 days in a week, she earns $420.

When she works 7 hours a day for 4 days a week , her weekly earnings are reduced by 20%.

This means that her new earning is 80% of her prior earning.

Lilian's new earning =
`\[(80)/(100)*420\]`

=
`\[(33600)/(100)\]`

=
`336`

Hence the new weekly earning of Lilian is $336.
