Calculation of wages

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Petra owns a coffee shop. She has ten employees. In 2007, she paid her employees minimum wage ($5.85 an hour). In 2008, the minimum wage increased to $6.55 an hour. In 2009, the minimum wage increased to $7.25 an hour. Petra is paying her ten employees for 40 hours a week 52 weeks each year. In 2007 Petra spent___ on wages for her employees each week. When the minimum wage rose in 2009, Petra had to increase her annual budget for wage from 2008 by___

We can now proceed as follows:

Weekly wage spent Petra in 2007 = 2007 minimum wage per hour * Number of employees * Number of hours per week = $5.85 * 10 * 40 = $2,340

Amount of increase in minimum wage per hour between 2008 and 2009 = $7.25 - 6.55 = $0.7/hour

Petra’s increase in annual budget for wages in 2009 = Amount of increase in minimum wage per hour between 2008 and 2009 * Number of employees * Number of hours per week * Number of weeks = $0.7 * 10 * 40 * 52 = $14,560
