Question

Steve was offered 5,025 per year for a weekend lifeguarding job at a local pool. He wants to know how much his monthly income will be at this salary level. What is his rate of pay in dollars per month?

Answer 1

Steve's rate of pay would be $418.75 per month because $5025 / 12 months equals $418.75 per month.

Answer 2

You would divide 5025 by 12 because there are 12 months in a year since he wants to know how much his monthly income will be.
5025/12= $418.75
