Answer 1

The change in total amount of money the cashier are paid each week will be $331.5.

Explanation:

16 store cashiers work average 21 hours per week and paid $8.25 per hour.

Now, the store manager hires 2 additional cashiers each cashier will be paid 0.25 more per hour and will work an average of 1.5 fewer hours per week.

Therefore, the two additional cashiers will be paid $8.50 per hour and will work an average of (21 - 1.5) = 19.5 hours per week.

So, the change in the total amount of money the cashiers are paid each week will be (2 × 19.5 × 8.5) = $331.5. (Answer)
