Question

Ebert used to make $18 an hour, but got a 10% raise. How much more will he make in a 40-hour work week with the raise?

Answer 1

Answer:

$72 more

Step-by-step explanation:

the way we solve this is by first calculating how much he used to make in a forty hour work week.

lets take 18 x 40. that gives us $720. Ebert used to make $720 dollars a week.

Now for each of those hours the pay is increased by 10%. we can find 10% of 18 by just multiplying 18 by 1.1 or 110%

that gives us 1.8 now we just add 1.8 to 18 which gives us 19.8

all thats left is multiplying 40 x 19.8 then subtracting 720

that gives us 72 left over.

hope this helps !
