Question

You decide to work out your weekly pay by using the following formula:

Weekly pay = dhr
• d is number of days worked
• h is hours worked
• r is rate of pay per hour

This week you worked for 5 days, 8 hours a day, at an hourly rate £6.88

How much did you earn

Answer 1

If the formula is weekly pay=dhr*d, then you plug in all your information, your work should look like this:

weekly pay=5(8)*6.88

weekly pay=40*6.88

weekly pay=275.20

So you would make 275.20 before taxes.
