Answer:
Collette would make a total of $46,800.
Explanation:
To calculate how much Collette would make, we need to consider the number of projects, the hours per project, the hourly rate, and the startup fee.
Number of projects per week = 2
Hours per project = 12
Hourly rate = $45
Startup fee = $50
First, let's calculate the earnings for each week:
Earnings per week = (Number of projects per week) * (Hours per project) * (Hourly rate) + Startup fee
Earnings per week = 2 * 12 * $45 + $50
Earnings per week = $1,080 + $50
Earnings per week = $1,130
Since Collette works for 50 weeks in a year, we can calculate her total earnings for the year:
Total earnings = Earnings per week * Number of weeks
Total earnings = $1,130 * 50
Total earnings = $56,500
However, we need to consider that the startup fee is a one-time payment and should only be included in the first week's earnings. So, let's deduct the startup fee for the remaining weeks (49 weeks):
Remaining weeks' earnings = Total earnings - Startup fee
Remaining weeks' earnings = $56,500 - $50
Remaining weeks' earnings = $56,450
Finally, since we only have earnings for 4 weeks in the given information, we need to adjust the total earnings by considering the remaining 46 weeks:
Adjusted total earnings = Remaining weeks' earnings * (Number of weeks with earnings / Total weeks in a year)
Adjusted total earnings = $56,450 * (4 / 50)
Adjusted total earnings ≈ $4,516
Adding the adjusted total earnings to the earnings for the 4 weeks:
Total earnings = Adjusted total earnings + Earnings for the 4 weeks
Total earnings = $4,516 + $1,130
Total earnings = $5,646
Therefore, Collette would make a total of $46,800.
