Answer:
a = 9.6 b = 11.2
Step-by-step explanation:
10 percent of 8 is .8
8 + (8 x .1) = 8.8
8.8 + .8 = 9.6
She will be paid 9.6 dollars after 1 full year of working, because working for one year is 12 months, and thats 10 percent of 8 twice. You can also put that as 20 percent of 8, aka 1.6
When you do 8+1.6 it equals 9.6
For the second part, that is 24 months, so 10 percent of 8 4 times. .8+.8+.8+.8 = 3.2
8+3.2 = 11.2
She will be paid 11.2 dollars after 2 full years of working.
Your answer isnt wrong, I dont know why your teacher is saying it is.
