Answer 1

Answer:

$644

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X (40hrs)be the number of hours Avery works per week, and i (15%)be the raise and that her wage rate is $14/hr:

Total earnings per week is therefore:

$Earnings=14X(1+i)$

Avery's earning per week is calculated as:

$Earnings=14X(1+i)\\\\=14\times 40(1+0.15)\\\\=644$

Hence, Avery's weekly earning is $644
