Aaron works 3 1/2 hours every Saturday at a rate of $7.25 per hour. He is paid every four weeks. If his boss gives him a $1.00 raise, how much will Aaron be paid in his next paycheck?
• A. $95.70
• B. $101.50
• C. $108.90
O D. $115.50
To find out how much Aaron currently earns every four weeks, we first find out how much he earns in one week:
3 1/2 hours * $7.25/hour = $25.38
Next, we multiply that amount by the number of weeks in four weeks (28 days):
$25.38/week * 4 weeks = $101.50
After his $1.00 raise, Aaron will earn:
$101.50 + $1.00 = $102.50
Therefore, Aaron will be paid $102.50 in his next paycheck.
The correct answer is:
B. $101.50
