Barney works part- time 30 hours a week at the cinema and earns $6 per hour. If he savea 1/3 of his paycheck each week how much does he have left to speed after 4 weeks?
30 * 6 = 180
(1/3) * 180 = 60 saved / week
180 - 60 = 120 to spend / week
120 * 4 = ?
To calculate how much Barney earns in a week, multiply the number of hours he works by his hourly wage:
Earnings per week = 30 hours/week * $6/hour
Earnings per week = $180
Next, to figure out how much he saves each week, multiply his earnings by the fraction representing the portion he saves:
Savings per week = 1/3 * $180
Savings per week = $60
After 4 weeks, multiply Barney's weekly savings by the number of weeks:
Total savings after 4 weeks = $60/week * 4 weeks
Total savings after 4 weeks = $240
Thus, Barney will have $240 left to spend after 4 weeks.
