Question

winona has two jobs. One pays $12.25 per hour and the other pays $10 per hour plus an average of 60% of the hourly pay in tips and bonuses each pay period 21% of her total pay goes to taxes, write and simplify an equation that winona’s total take home pay in terms of the number of hours worked at the first job, and the number of hours worked at the second job

Answer 1

Let x = number of hours worked at the first job

Let y = number of hours worked at the second job

Total take home pay = (12.25x + 10y + 0.6(10y)) - 0.21(12.25x + 10y + 0.6(10y))

Total take home pay = (12.25x + 10y + 6y) - (2.555x + 2.1y + 1.26y)

Total take home pay = 9.695x + 7.9y
