Question

Penelope decides to reduce her math tutoring to half the amount of time she has been tutoring each month. After making this change, what will be her total amount of monthly income?

Answer 1

Answer: $300 per month (assumed)

Step-by-step explanation:

As figures are lacking in this question, I will use assumed figures and you can use it as a reference.

Assume Penelope had been tutoring for 60 hours a month and her hourly rate was $10 originally.

If she reduces this time to half, the amount of hours she begins to tutor is:

= 60 hours / 2

= 30 hours

At a rate of $10 an hour, her monthly income becomes:

= 10 * 30

= $300 per month
