Question

Over a two week period you worked 7 1/2 hrs a day for 8 days. You earn $11.50 an hour. How much money did you earn in your paycheck after $3 was taken out for taxes?

Answer 1

Answer: $\ 687$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Working hours are $7\ \frac{1}{2}$ for 8 days

Money earned is $11.50 an hour

Total working hours

$=\dfrac{7\times 2+1}{2}\times 8=\dfrac{15}{2}\times 8\\\\=60\ hr$

Money earned

$=60\times 11.50=\ 690$

After-tax deduction

$\Rightarrow 690-3=\ 687$
