Question

13. Estimate how much money Jonah will make in an 8hr work day if he makes $7.59 per hour but 10% must go to taxes. Please show your work

Answer 1

Multiply 8 hours by $7.59.

8 * 7.59 = 60.72

Jonah makes $60.72 every day (excluding taxes).

Now multiply this by 10% (0.10).

60.72 * .10 = 6.072

Subtract 6.072 from 60.72.

60.72 - 6.072 = 54.648

Jonah makes $54.65 every day.
