You work at a fastr food restaurant 5 days a week, 6 hours a day, and are paid $840 every two weeks. Each hour you wrap 184 burgers. How many burgers will you have to wrap to make a million dollars? I got $7142857 from the proportion:
$1,000,000x 2 weeks/$840 x 5 days/1 week x 6 hours/1 day. I feel like my answer is too low. Can you check my work please? Thanks.
You wrap how many in two weeks?
5*6*2*184 burgers
1000000/840=X/(5*6*2*184)
I get almost 13 million burgers.
This is chemistry???
In 60 hours you wrap 11,040 burgers. You receive $840 for this work.
1,000,000 / 840 = 1190.4761 pay periods
1190.4761 * 11,040 = 13,142,856
Or doing it another way -- you earn $0.076 per burger. 1,000,000 / 0.076 = 13,157, 894.7
To calculate the number of burgers you would need to wrap to make a million dollars, we'll need to break it down step by step.
1. Start by calculating your earnings per hour: $840 / (5 days/week * 6 hours/day).
$840 / (5 * 6) = $840 / 30 = $28 per hour
2. Next, determine how many burgers you wrap per hour. You mentioned that you wrap 184 burgers in an hour, so your earnings per burger would be:
$28 / 184 burgers ≈ $0.152 per burger
3. Now let's calculate how many burgers you would need to wrap to make a million dollars. Divide $1,000,000 by your earnings per burger:
$1,000,000 / $0.152 ≈ 6,578,947 burgers
According to this calculation, you would need to wrap approximately 6,578,947 burgers to make a million dollars.
It seems that your initial calculation is incorrect. To check your work again, you'll need to divide $1,000,000 by your earnings per hour, which is $28.40:
$1,000,000 / $28.40 ≈ 35,211 hours
Since you work 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, the number of weeks it would take you to reach a million dollars is:
35,211 hours / (6 hours/day * 5 days/week) ≈ 1,170.37 weeks
This means it would take you approximately 1,170.37 weeks or around 22.5 years to make a million dollars at your current rate.
