Question

Roxy’s new employer pays employees bimonthly, which is twice a month. She’ll earn $30 per hour with the new company. She plans to continue making extra money by dog sitting on weekends. Roxy works 40 hours per week for 52 weeks during the year. Each time she dog sits on the weekend, she earns $75. Use this information about Roxy to complete the statements. Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. Roxy’s annual income from her new employer before taxes will be $ . Her bimonthly pay before taxes will be $ . To reach Roxy’s yearly pretax income goal of $63,300, she will need to dog sit at least times.

Answer 1

Roxy's annual income from her employer before taxes will be $62,400, her bimonthly pay will be $2,600, and she needs to dog sit at least 12 times to achieve her yearly pretax income goal of $63,300.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate Roxy's annual income from her new employer before taxes, we need to multiply her hourly rate by the number of hours she works each year:

Annual income = $30/hour × 40 hours/week × 52 weeks/year = $62,400

Since she is paid bimonthly, which means twice a month, we divide this annual income by the number of bimonthly periods in a year to find her bimonthly pay:

Bimonthly pay = $62,400 / (12 months/year × 2) = $2,600

To determine how many times Roxy needs to dog sit to reach her yearly pretax income goal of $63,300, we subtract her income from her employer from her goal and divide by the amount she earns per dog sitting job:

Number of dog sitting jobs = ($63,300 - $62,400) / $75/job = 12

Therefore, Roxy's annual income from her employer before taxes is $62,400, her bimonthly pay before taxes is $2,600, and she will need to dog sit at least 12 times to meet her annual income goal.

Answer 2

12 times

Step-by-step explanation:

first, find out how much she makes weekly.

40 (hours per week she works * 30 ($ she will earn per hour)

40 * 30 = 1200 per week

for 52 weeks so multiply that by her weekly pay

multiply her weekly pay (1200) by the weeks she works annually (52)

52 * 1200 = 62,400

she makes just $62,400 (annually, before taxes) with her new employer

subtract how much more money she needs

62,400 - 63,300 = -900

she needs 900 dollars

divide by the money she makes on weekends (for dog sitting)

900/75 = 12

she will need to dog sit at least 12 times to make approx. $63,300 annually, before taxes.

hope this helps:)
