Latrell is comparing two job opportunities one job will pay $12 an hour and he will work 40 hour a week. The other one pays an annual salary of $22,00 and he will work 45 hours a week. which job pays more?

Answer 1

To compare these two jobs, you need to have a common point. In this problem, you have to solve for the annual salary of the first job and compare it with the annual salary of the second job which is already given.

$12 per hour x 40 hours per week x 48 weeks in a year = $23,040

First job’s annual salary is $23,040

Second job’s annual salary is $22,000

Therefore, the job which pays $12 an hour pays more.
