Question

Sally works 40 hours a week and makes $20 an hour, but her kids are in child care each day and the day care center charges her $50 per day. If you deduct her child care expenses, how many dollars per hour does she actually make?

Answer 1

Answer:

$11.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the number of hours she works by how much she gets paid per hour.

800

Multiply 50 times 7 (50 being the amount charged for her kid and 7 being the days of the week)

350

Subtract the 350 from the 800

450

Divide the 450 by the number of hours worked per week

450/40

Answer: 11.25

So Sally actually makes 11.25 per hour.
