Question

Avery is currently making $14 per hour at her job. Her boss gives her a 15% raise for showing good work ethic.

If Avery works 40 hours per week, how much MORE per week will Avery be making than before her 15% raise?

Answer 1

What the bot is trying to say in a weird format way :


the way the bot did it:
Avery's raise = .15(14) = 2.10
new rate = 14.00+2.10 = 16.10 <----- don't actually need that
change in pay = 40(2.10) = $84


or,
I would have just done:
increase in pay = 40(.15(14)) = $84.00

Answer 2

Avery's raise will be $14 x 15% = $<<14*15*.01=2.10>>2.10 per hour.
So, her new rate will be $14 + $2.10 = $<<14+2.10=16.10>>16.10 per hour.
Therefore, Avery will be making an additional $16.10 - $14 = $<<16.10-14=2.10>>2.10 per hour.
Thus, she will make $2.10 x 40 = $<<2.10*40=84>>84 more per week than before her 15% raise. Answer: \boxed{84}.

Yes, that is correct. Thank you for simplifying the solution!
