Question

Mary has a job with engineering company. The company pays her $25 per hour. If her salary is raised by 15%, how much will she eat during a 40 hour work week?

A) $1,150

B) $375

C) $1,100

( PLEASE HELP!! )

Answer 1

The answer is A

Explanation:

In order to solve this, you need to find 15% of 25, which is $3.75. Now, you add $3.75 to $25 to get $28.75 which is her new hourly payment. The only thing left to do is to multiply $28.75 to the 40 hours Mary works to get $1,150.
