Question

One week, Magan earned $477.60 at his job when he worked for 24 hours. If he is paid the same hourly wage, how much would he make the next week if he worked 18 hours?

Answer 1

Answer:

$358.2

Step-by-step explanation:

• We have to first find the hourly wage for the week in which he worked 24 hours:

hourly wage = $\frac{\ 477.60}{24 \space\ h}$

                     = $19.9 /h

• Now we can use this hourly wage to calculate how much he would make next week if he worked 18 hours:

he would make = 18 h × $19.9 /h

                          = $358.2
