Question

If you received three full time job offers, one for $12 per hour, one for $1,400 per month, and one for $26,500 per year, which job should you take if salary was your only consideration

Answer 1

Answer:

I should take that pays $12 per hour

Explanation:

Since, the standard hour of working in 1 week = 45 hours,

For first company :

If company pays $12 per hour,

Wages for a week = 45 × 12 = $ 540,

∵ 1 year = 52 weeks,

Thus, annual wages = 52 × weekly wages = 52 × 540 = $ 28,080,

For second company :

Wages per month = $1,400,

1 year = 12 months,

So, annual wages = 12 × monthly wages = 12 × 1400 = $ 16,800,

For third company :

Annual wages = $26,500 ,

∵ 28,080 > 26,500 > 16,800

Hence, i should go to the job that gives $ 12 per hour.
