Question

You have caught a bad cold and have to take time off of work to get well. Each week you normally work 8 hours a day for 5 days at $15.00 per hour. If you take a day to get well by not going to work and your pay period is every two weeks, how much less will your next paycheck be given that you miss a day?

Answer 1

Answer:120

Explanation: You work for hours in 1 day = 8
Since you work for 5 days in a week
So, in two weeks he works for days = 5+5=10 days
So, no. of hours you worked in 10 days =
Cost of 1 hour = $ 15
Cost of 80 hours =
We are given that you take a day to get well by not going to work
So, no. of days he work in two weeks = 10-1 = 9 days
So, no. of hours you worked in 9 days =
Cost of 72 hours =
So, Amount for the day you missed the work = $1200-$1080 =$120
Hence $120 less will your next paycheck be given that you miss a day.
