To find out how much Mike gets paid in his next check, we need to calculate his current hourly rate and then multiply it by the number of hours he works.
Mike works 3 and 1/2 hours every Saturday. To convert this to a decimal, we can calculate: 3 + 1/2 = 3.5 hours.
Mike's current hourly rate is $7.25 per hour. To calculate his current wage for every Saturday, we can multiply his hourly rate by the number of hours he works: $7.25 * 3.5 = $25.38.
Mike gets paid every four weeks, so to calculate his next check, we need to calculate his current wage per Saturday and then multiply it by the number of Saturdays in four weeks.
There are 7 days in a week, so there are 4 weeks * 7 days = 28 days in four weeks. Since Mike works every Saturday, the number of Saturdays in four weeks is 28/7 = 4 Saturdays.
To calculate Mike's wage in four weeks, we can multiply his current wage per Saturday by the number of Saturdays in four weeks: $25.38 * 4 = $101.50.
Since Mike received a $1.00 raise, his next check will be $101.50 + $1.00 = $102.50.
Therefore, Mike will get paid $102.50 in his next check.
The closest option is $101.50, so the answer is $101.50.
To calculate Mike's next paycheck, we need to determine his current hourly wage and multiply it by the number of hours he works in one pay period.
His current hourly wage is $7.25 per hour. However, since he got a $1.00 raise, his new hourly wage is $7.25 + $1.00 = $8.25.
Next, we need to calculate the number of hours Mike works in one pay period. Mike works 3 and 1 over 2 hours every Saturday, which is equivalent to 3.5 hours.
Since Mike is paid every four weeks, we can multiply his new hourly wage ($8.25) by the number of hours he works in one pay period (3.5 hours).
$8.25 x 3.5 = $28.88
Therefore, Mike will receive $28.88 in his next paycheck.
None of the answer choices provided match the calculated amount of his next paycheck, so none of the options provided are correct.
To calculate Mike's pay in his next check, we need to break down the problem into steps:
1. Determine Mike's base hourly rate: Mike earns $7.25 per hour.
2. Calculate Mike's regular weekly earnings: Mike works 3 and 1 over 2 hours every Saturday, which is equivalent to 3.5 hours.
Regular weekly earnings = base hourly rate * hours worked
= $7.25 * 3.5
= $25.38
3. Calculate Mike's regular four-week paycheck: Mike is paid every four weeks, so we multiply his regular weekly earnings by the number of Saturdays in four weeks, which is 4.
Regular four-week paycheck = regular weekly earnings * number of Saturdays
= $25.38 * 4
= $101.52
4. Add Mike's raise to his regular four-week paycheck: Mike received a $1.00 raise.
New four-week paycheck = regular four-week paycheck + raise amount
= $101.52 + $1.00
= $102.52
Thus, Mike will get paid $102.52 in his next check.
Therefore, the answer is $102.52.
