Question

Doug had been working 20 hours per week at a pet store for $8.00 per hour. His pay was increased to $8.50 per hour, and his hours were increased to 24 per week. His total weekly pay increase

Answer 1

$44

Explanation:

First, find how much he was making originally:

Multiply the number of hours he worked by the amount he got per hour:

20(8)

= 160

Then, find how much he gets now:

24(8.50)

= 204

To find his total weekly pay increase, find the difference between them:

204 - 160

= 44

So, his total weekly pay increase is $44
