Answer:
£11.85
Step-by-step explanation:
In the question, we are told that:
In 2016 she earned a monthly salary of £2,100
In 2017 she had a 3% raise
This means 3% of £2,100
3/100×£2,100 = £63
This means her salary for 2017 =
£63 + £2,100 =£2,163
Step 2
We are told in the question that she worked 42 hours per week for 45 weeks in 2017
Since her monthly pay for 2017 = £2,163
She worked 42 hours per week
There are 7 days in one week
The number of hours she worked per day = 42 hours ÷ 7 = 6 hours per day
4.345 weeks= 1 month
The number of hours she worked per month = 42 hours × 4.345 weeks
= 182.49 hours.
We can say that for 182.49 hours she was paid = £2,163
Her average pay per hour is calculated as:
If 182.49 hours = £2,163
1 hour = represented by Y
Cross multiply
182.49Y = £2,163
Y = £2,163 ÷ 182.49
Y = £11.852704258
Approximately = £11.85
Therefore, Elise Average pay per hour for the year = £11.85
