Question

Paul can choose to be paid $50 for a job or he can be paid 12.50 per hour. Under which circumstances should he choose the hourly wage

Answer 1

Answer:

If the number of hours needed for the job is $4$ hours then he can choose either to be paid for the job or by hour. If he works for more than $4$ hours then he should choose the option of getting paid by the hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

He should choose hourly wage if the number of hours are of a value so that the total paid is more than $50.

Let's take that number of hours worked is $x$

If,

$12.5*x=50$

=$x=\frac{50}{12.5}$

=$4$ hours

Then he can choose either to be paid for the job or by hour. If he works for more than $4$ hours then he should choose the option of getting paid by the hour.
