Question

Ken made $14,500 in five months at his new job. How much can he make in two years if his pay remains constant?

Answer 1

$69,600



Explanation:


First you would do 14500/5 to find out how much he made in one month.

14500/5=2900
Meaning they made $2900 per month so then to find out how much he would make in two years you would multiply it by 24 because two years is 24 months

2900*24= $69600

Answer 2

$69,600

Explanation:

Figure out how much Ken makes a month by dividing 14500/5.

This gives you $2900.

If Ken makes $2900 a month and there are 24 months in two years, multiply his monthly earnings by 24 months.

$2900 * 24 = $69,600
