Question

If an apprentice makes 55% of Journeyman wages, what would an apprentice make per hour if the Journeyman scale is $17.64?

Answer 1

Answer:

$9.702  per hour

Explanation:

The apprentice earns 55% of what the journeyman earns on a hourly scale.

Amount the apprentice makes per hour = 55% of $17.64

                                                             = (55/100) *17.64

                                                           = 0.55 *17.64

                                                          = $9.702
