Question

Lindsay earn $7.65 per hour.Her boss has promised her a 7% raise next month. If she works 40 hour per week, how much will she earn per week after she gets her raise

Answer 1

She would make $327.60 each week after the raise

Explanation:

First we need to find how much she will make per hour. We can do this by multiplying the per hour rate by the percentage of the raise.

$7.65 * 7% = $0.54

Now we add this amount to the previous hourly rate.

$7.65 + $0.54 = $8.19

Now that we have the new hourly rate, we multiply it by the number of hours that she works.

$8.19 * 40 = $327.60
