Question

1) Sam works at Taco Bell. When he first started working he was paid $12.50 an hour. He gets a

$0.50 raise every 6 month he works. How much money does he make after working there 3.5
years?

Answer 1

Answer: He ends up making $16

Explanation:

So if every 6 months he gets a raise of .50

So if he works for 3.5 years or a total of 42 months you would want to divide it by 6 so

42/6=7 so 7*(.50)=$3.50 so add that to the $12.50.

So, $12.50+$3.50=$16

Then the total ends up being a total of $16
