Answer 1

For the first 28 days, the driver will be paid $14 per hour.

The driver will be paid $560 for a 40-hour workweek for the first 28 days.

In this period, the driver will make $2,260 for a 40-hour workweek.

The driver will be paid $720 for a 40-hour workweek after the first 28 days.

Explanation:

Step 1:

In the ad, it is given that to start the driver gets $14 per hour and gets $18 per hour after 28 days.

So for the first 28 days, the driver will be paid $14 per hour.

Step 2:

If the driver works for 40 hours a week, we multiply the money he makes for each hour with the 40 hours.

The money the driver makes for a 40-hour workweek
`= 40(14) = \$560.`

So for a single week, the driver will make $560. As this is for 4 weeks, the driver will make
`4(560) = \$ 2,260` during this time.

Step 3:

The driver will be paid
`40(14) = \$ 560` for a 40-hour workweek for the first 28 days.

The driver will be paid
`40(18) = \$ 720` for a 40-hour workweek after the first 28 days.
