Question

John is paid $26.00 for 8 hours work. How much should he be paid for working 37 hours at the same hourly wage?

Answer 1

We have to find out how much John is being paid for each hour he works. To do this we divide the amount he had gained by the number of hours he worked.

`26/8 = 3.25`

`$3.25 per hour`

Then we multiply by 37 to get the amount he has earned in 37 hours

`3.25*37 = 120.25`

He should be paid $120.25 for 37 hours of work
