Question

A person paid by the hour works 22 hours a week and makes $359. How much would they make if they work

Answer 1

Answer:

$603.77

Step-by-step explanation:

if they work 22 hours a week

and once a week they make $359

therefore divide to get the hourly rate

359/22 = 16.3181818182

they make 16.3181818182 per hour

then we have to multiply the hourly by the hours worked

16.3181818182 * 37 = 603.772727273

since this is in dollars ($) we round to the second decimal place (hundredths)

meaning we cut off the numbers after it

603.77║2727273

then, determine if the thousandths place is equal to or greater than five or less than five

since it is a 2 then the 7 stays the same

if it were a 5 or greater we would round up, making the 7 in the hundredth place turn into an 8.

therefore your answer is $603.77

hope this helps:)
