Answer provided by our tutors
let x = the hours Susan works per day
Susan works 6-7 hours per day:
6 <= x <= 7
Susan gets paid $7.45 an hour thus she will get 7.45x dollars per day and
7.45*6 <= 7.45x <= 7.45*7
44.7 <= 7.45x <= 52.15
She works 3 days out of the week thus for she will be paid 3*7.45x per week
3*44.7 <= 3*7.45x < 3*52.15
134.1 <= 22.35x <= 156.45
Susan gets paid every two weeks thus in 2 weeks she will paid 2*3*7.45x or
2*134.1 <= 2*22.35x <= 2*156.45
268.2 <= 44.7x <= 312.9
Susan's first pay check will be between $268.2 and $312.9.
In 1 month she will receive twice the previous amount (for 4 weeks) or an amount between $536.4 and $625.8.
