Question

What is the true hourly wage of a job that pays 18 per hour and allows 20 hours of paid time off for every 500 hours worked?

Answer 1

$18.72

Explanation:

(500+20) * 18 = 9360

9360/500 = 18.72

Answer 2

To solve for the true hourly wage simply add the 2 rates together.

20 dollars/500 hours = 2/50 = 0.04 dollars per hour.

The true rate would be $18.000 + $0.04 = $18.04 per hour.
