Question

An employee named Bolarry in a restaurant makes $22.50 an hour. He gets a 12.5% raise (Markup). What does this man make for a weekly salary, if he works 6 hours a day, for 6 days a week?

Answer 1

$911.25

Explanation:

For 1 day the man works for 6 hours.

Then for 6 days the man will work for (6×6)hours = 36 hours

If the man makes $22.5 an hour, then for 36 hours, the man will earn ($22.5×36) = $810

Given, that the man gets a 12.5% raise, the we would have to apply the formula, where the 12.5% should be added to $810.

New Value/Old Value = 100 + rate/100

New Value/$810 = 112.5/100

By solving this equation, we get $911.25. So the man will earn $911.25 if he works for 6days a week.
