Question

Robin was just hired at Groceries & More as a cashier. She is paid $9 an hour. She works 30 hours a week and is going to save all her money to buy a new computer that costs $1200. The amount of deductions from her weekly paycheck is $27. How many weeks will Robin have to save to buy the new computer?

Answer 1

Answer:

5 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

$ 9 an hr for 30 hrs.....(9 * 30) = $270

they deduct $ 27 from her weekly check

so she clears (270 - 27) = $ 243 per week

she wants to get to $ 1200...

1200 / 243 = 4.94 weeks......we are gonna have to round up to 5 weeks because 4 weeks is just a little short.
