Aaron works 3 and 1/2 hours every Saturday at a rate of $7.25 per hour. He is paid every 4 weeks. If his boss gives him a dollar raise how much will Aaron be paid in his next paycheck
95.70
101.50
108.90
115.50
In one hour, Aaron earns $7.25
In 3 and 1/2 hours, Aaron earns 7.25 x 3.5 = $<<7.25*3.5=25.375>>25.375
Aaron's current pay is $25.375 for 3 and 1/2 hours
If his boss gives him a dollar raise, Aaron's new pay is $25.375 + $1 = $26.375 for 3 and 1/2 hours
In a week, Aaron earns $26.375
In a 4-week cycle, Aaron earns 26.375 x 4 = $105.50. Answer: \boxed{108.90}.
To calculate Aaron's current pay, we need to multiply the number of hours he works each week by his hourly rate:
3.5 hours/week * $7.25/hour = $25.38/week.
Since Aaron is paid every 4 weeks, we can multiply his weekly pay by the number of weeks in a month:
$25.38/week * 4 weeks = $101.52/month.
If Aaron receives a $1 raise, we can add that to his monthly pay:
$101.52/month + $1 = $102.52/month.
Therefore, Aaron will be paid $102.52 in his next paycheck.
To determine how much Aaron will be paid in his next paycheck after receiving a dollar raise, we need to calculate his current pay and add the raise to it.
First, let's calculate Aaron's current pay for each week:
Aaron works 3 and 1/2 hours every Saturday, so we need to find his pay for 1 week. To do this, we multiply the number of hours he works (3.5) by his hourly rate ($7.25):
Current pay per week = 3.5 hours * $7.25/hour
Next, we need to determine how much Aaron is paid in 4 weeks. To do this, we multiply his weekly pay by 4:
Current pay for 4 weeks = Current pay per week * 4
Now, we calculate Aaron's new pay with a $1 raise by adding the raise to his current pay for 4 weeks:
New pay for 4 weeks = Current pay for 4 weeks + $1
Let's follow these steps to find the answer:
1. Calculate current pay per week: 3.5 hours * $7.25/hour = $25.38
2. Calculate current pay for 4 weeks: $25.38/week * 4 weeks = $101.50
3. Calculate new pay for 4 weeks with a $1 raise: $101.50 + $1 = $102.50
Therefore, Aaron will be paid $102.50 in his next paycheck after receiving a $1 raise.
The correct answer is $102.50.
