Answer 1

Liam earns $9.375 per hour

Explanation:

The given information is

• Lima earns $7.50 per hour
• His benefits package is 25% of his hourly wages

We need to find his hourly wages when his benefits package is included

Assume that he earns 100% per hour

∵ He earns 100% per hour

∵ His benefits package is 25% of his hourly wages

→ Add 25% to 100% to find his total hourly wages

∴ He will earn = 100% + 25% = 125% of his hourly wage

→ Find the value of 125% of his hourly earn

∵ 125% of 7.50 =
`(125)/(100)` × 7.50 = 9.375

∴ His hourly earns = $9.375

Liam earns $9.375 per hour
