Answer 1

Answer: his weekly earnings

Explanation:

He earns $(6.25 + 7.50) = $13.5 between the two jobs per hour

$13.5 = 1 hr

$x = 40hr

Cross multiply and make $x the subject,

x = $540 in 40 hours.

If he makes $540 in 40 hours,

18% of $540 =

18/100 = x/540

× = $97.2

George saves $97.2 from the two jobs weekly.
