Joe works for a temporary employment agency that pays him $25 per week plus his regular wages, if he works a 40-hour week. If Joe works 40 hours on an assignment that pays $11.00 an hour, how much does he make for the week? A. $1,440 B. $415 C. $440 D. $465
The answer is D, so the first thing you'd want to do is multiply $11 by 40, which would be $440. Now you need to add the $25 he gets that week for doing the 40 hours and that would be $465. You're welcome.
