Question

Aaron works 3 1/2 hours every satuday at a rate of $7.25 per hour. He is paid every four weeks. if his boss gives him a $1.0 raise, how much will aaron be paid in his next paycheck?

A. $95.70
B. $101.50
C. $ 108.90
D. $115.50

Answer 1

Aaron's current wage is $7.25 per hour, so he makes 3.5 hours x $7.25/hour = $<<3.5*7.25=25.375>>25.375 per Saturday.

If his boss gives him a $1.0 raise, his new wage will be $7.25 + $1.0 = $<<7.25+1=8.25>>8.25 per hour.
His next paycheck will be for 4 weeks x $25.375 = $<<4*25.375=101.5>>101.5, at his new wage.
Thus, Aaron will be paid $101.5 in his next paycheck, or choice B. $101.50. Answer: \boxed{B}.
