Question

Dylan took an applicant-paid job through an employment agency. The job pays $395 per week. Dylan must pay a fee to the agency. The fee is 20% of his first 4 weeks pay. How much does Dylan owe the employment agency?

Answer 1

Dylan owed a $1,264 fee, and earned $316

Explanation:

First find out how much money he gets in 4 weeks without the fee

395 times 4 = $1,580

Then multiply 1,580 by the .2 percent he owes the eployment agency

$316

(He gets $316 for working for 4 weeks minus the fee) Subtract the payment without the fee by the payment with the fee to find out how much the fee was.
