Question

If a woman making $35 an hour gets a 10% raise, how much will now make
in a 6 hour work day? *

Answer 1

$231

Explanation:

1.1*35=38.5

The .1 is the 10% raise, so before the raise she made $35 and hour, now she makes $38.5 an hour. To get 6 hours, you need to multiply this by 6, to get $231.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Explanation:

Increase amount per hour = 10% of 35

`=(10)/(100)*35\\\\`

= $ 3.50

Increased amount for 6 hours = 6*3.50 = 21.00 = $21

Money she will make in 6 hours = 35*6 + 21

=210 + 21

= $ 231
