Question

laura works 8 hours per day as a secretary making $18.25 per hour. a) what is her weekly income if she works 40 hours per week? b) what is her yearly income?(52 weeks in a year.)

Answer 1

1h = $18.25

a) She works 40 hours per week and for one hour she makes $18.25, so in order to find out her weekly income you need to multiply $18.25 by 40.

$18.25 × 40 = $730

Her weekly income is $730 if she works 40 hours per week.

b) She makes $730 a week and there are 52 weeks in a year, so in order to find out her yearly income you need to multiply $730 by 52.

$730 × 52 = $37 960

Her yearly income is $37 960 if she works 40 hours per week for 52 weeks.

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
