Question

Easy one - giving brainly if correct - show work.

Answer 1

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.
