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
D.
$115.50
In a single Saturday, Aaron works 3 1/2 hours * $7.25/hour = $<<3.5*7.25=25.375>>25.375.
This means that in four weeks (28 days), Aaron earns a total of $25.375 * 4 = $<<25.375*4=101.50>>101.50.
If Aaron receives a raise of $1.00, his new rate will be $7.25 + $1.00 = $8.25 per hour.
Therefore, in his next paycheck, Aaron will earn 3 1/2 hours * $8.25/hour = $<<3.5*8.25=28.88>>28.88.
Since he is paid every four weeks, his new paycheck will be $28.88 * 4 = $<<28.88*4=115.50>>115.50.
Therefore, the answer is D. $115.50.
