Problema Solution

Joy earns $8 per hour at an after school job. Each month she earns $128. How many hours does she work each month? After six months she gets a $2 hour raise. How much money does she earn per month now

Answer provided by our tutors

If Joy earns $128 per month and her rate is $8 per hour then the hours that she has worked per month are:


128 : 8 = 16 hours per month.


After the raise of $2 now her rate is $10 per month.


Since she works 16 hours per month that means that she earns 16 * 10 = $160 per month now.
