Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming t = two years

3% of $22.00 = .66

step-by-step

3 percent *22.00 =

(3:100)*22.00 =

(3*22.00):100 =

66:100 = 0.66

A) .66x2 = 1.32 + 22.00 = 23.32

after 2 years the plumber will make $23.32 per hour

B) .66x8 = 5.28 = 22.00 = 27.28

after 8 years the plumber will make $27.28 per hour
