Question

Isabella makes $15.35 an hour at her company. Skyler, who works at the same company, earns $18.35 an hour. His hourly wage increases by $0.25 each year. How many years ago did Skyler start working at this company if his starting pay was the same as what Isabella makes now? Show your work or explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

12 years, if you subtract the wages you’ll get a 3 dollar difference. Then you divide 3 by 0.25 to get 12

Answer 2

Answer-the answer is 3 years

Explanation:So what I did is subtract skylers wage by isabellas wage(18.35-15.35=3)and I go 3 so he has been working 3 years at this job
