Question

HELP! *i keep asking questions sorry, i just need help lol*

Answer 1

Hi so I’m going to help you answer this problem so let’s get started!


What you need to do is 7+0.2(7)=7+1.40=8.40

Now that you know that James makes 7 dollars per hour and Priya makes 20% more than this, what you need to do is find 20% of 7% which you need to do is use 0.2(7) and then add that to 7 so that you can find the pay per hour for Priya.

8.40-0.05(8.40)=8.40-0.42=7.98

Since Priya made 8.40 dollars per hour and Siobhan made 5% less than this, what you now have to find is 5% of $8.40 which the equation is 0.05($8.40) and then you’ll need to subtract that from $8.40 so that you can find the pay per hour for Siobhan.

Therefore $7.98 is how much Siobhan makes per hour.

If this helps please mark me as brainiest thanks!

Answer 2

Answer:

Siobhan is making a total of $9.12 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

James makes $8 an hour.

Priya makes 20% more, so:

8.00 + 20% = $9.60

Siobhan makes 5% less, so:

9.60 - 5% = $9.12

Thus, the answer is $9.12.
