Question

Talia works 6 hours per day on Fridays and Saturdays each week. She earns $8.20 per hour

Answer 1

Question 1

Talia works 6 hours on Friday and 6 hours on Saturday. Total Work = 6+6 = 12 hours.

Hourly Rate = 8.20 dollars per hour.

Gross Pay = (Total Work) x (Hourly Rate) = 12 x 8.20 = 98.40 dollars.

Hence, option D is correct i.e. 98.40 dollars.

Question 2

Mikey worked 8 hours on Wednesday, 6 hours on Thursday and 7 hours on Friday.

Total Work = 8+6+7 = 21 hours.

Gross Pay = 187.95 dollars.

Hourly Rate = (Gross pay)/(Total work) = (187.95)/21 = 8.95 dollars per hour.

Hence, option A is correct i.e. 8.95 dollars per hour.

Question 3

Nina's Hourly Rate for first 40 hours = 12.25 dollars per hour.

Overtime rate for after first 40 hours = 1.5 x 12.25 = 18.375 dollars per hour.

Total work = 46 hours.

Gross Pay = (Hourly rate)x(first 40 hours) + (Overtime rate)x(Excess time after first 40 hours)

Gross pay = (12.25 x 40) + (18.375 x 6)

Gross pay = 490 + 110.25

Gross pay = 600.25 dollars.

Hence, option A is correct i.e. 600.25 dollars.

Question 4

Tip amount = 15 dollars.

Meal cost = 75 dollars.

Tip percentage = (Tip amount / Meal cost) x 100

Tip percentage = (15 / 75) x 100 = 20%

Hence, option B is correct i.e. 20%

Question 5

Weekly Salary = 844 dollars.

Commision Rate = 4% = 0.04

Last week Sales = 3250 dollars.

Last week commission on sales = 0.04 x 3250 = 130 dollars.

Gross pay = Weekly Salary + Commission amount.

Gross pay = 844 + 130 = 974 dollars.

Hence, option C is correct i.e. 974.00 dollars.
