Question

James, Priya, and Siobhan work in a grocery Store. James makes $9.00 per hour. Priya makes 40% more than James, and Siobhan makes 15% less that Priya. How much does Siobhan make per hour?

Answer 1

* Siobhan's profit at the grocery store ⇒ $ 10.8 *

Explanation:

See below;

Priya's 40% profit in the grocery store ⇒ 40/100 * 9 = 2/5 * 9 = 18/5 ⇒ $ 3.6,

Priya's profit at the grocery store ⇒ 9 + 3.6 ⇒ $ 12.6,

Siobhan's 15% of Priya's profit from the store ⇒ 15/100 * 12.6 = $ 1.8

Siobhan's profit at the grocery store ⇒ 12.6 - 1.8 = $ 10.8

* Siobhan's profit at the grocery store ⇒ $ 10.8 *
