Question

An entry level civil engineer's annual pay is $63,648 based on 52 weeks per year. Due to the economy, his company is having to cut back on the number of weeks that it
employs its civil engineers. If the firm cuts the work year to 50 weeks but keeps the same rate of pay, how much should the civil engineer expect his annual pay to
decrease? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Answer 1

Answer:

$2448 in a year

Step-by-step explanation:

$63,648 ÷ 52 = $1224 a week (this would be how much he earns per week)

Since he is not getting paid for two week we do 52 - 2 = 50 week of work.

Since per week salary is $1224 we multiply by 2 for two weeks = $2448

Before $63,648 - $2448 = $61200 per year (Now he's making $61200/year)
