Question

David earns $8.59 an hour. His benefits package is equal to 18 percent of his hourly wages. When you include the value of his benefits, how much does david earn per hour?
How much does David earn in a 35-hour work week (gross pay without benefits)? How much does David earn when the value of his benefits is included?

Answer 1

a]
Amount of earning per hour=$8.59
Amount of David's benefits=18/100×8.59=:1.5462
Amount that David earn per hour including benefits is given by:
8.59+1.5462=$10.1362

b]Amount that David earns in 35 hour a week will be:
(amount per hour)*(number of hours)
=8.59*35
=$300.65

C] amount earned by David including benefits will be:
(amount earned in 35 hours)+(total benefits in 35 hours)
total benefits=1.5462×35=$54.117
thus total amount will be:
300.65+54.117
=$354.767
