Question

You are trying to increase your monthly savings to buy a used car. Your boss allows you to work one hour of overtime at time-and-half 5 days per week. Your regular wage is $12.00 per hour. You want to save $3,000 for your car. Approximately how many weeks must you work with the extra hour per day to reach your goal?

Answer 1

Answer:

34 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

As given,

Wage of 1 hour = $12

⇒1$ = $\frac{1}{12}$ hour

⇒$3000 = $\frac{3000}{12}$ = 250 hour

As given,

1 week = 5 days

And he works

$1\frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2}$ hour in 1 day

⇒5 days = 5×$\frac{3}{2}$ = $\frac{15}{2}$ hours

⇒1 week = $\frac{15}{2}$ hours

⇒1 hour = $\frac{2}{15}$ week

⇒250 hour = $\frac{250 . 2}{15}$ = 33.34 weeks ≈ 34 weeks

∴ we get

He has to Approximately work for 34 weeks with the extra hour per day to reach your goal.
