Question

Aaron works 3 and 1/2 hours every Saturday at a rate of $7.25 per hour. He is paid every 4 weeks. If his boss gives him a dollar raise how much will Aaron be paid in his next paycheck
95.70
101.50
108.90
115.50

Answer 1

In one hour, Aaron earns $7.25
In 3 and 1/2 hours, Aaron earns 7.25 x 3.5 = $<<7.25*3.5=25.375>>25.375
Aaron's current pay is $25.375 for 3 and 1/2 hours
If his boss gives him a dollar raise, Aaron's new pay is $25.375 + $1 = $26.375 for 3 and 1/2 hours
In a week, Aaron earns $26.375
In a 4-week cycle, Aaron earns 26.375 x 4 = $105.50. Answer: \boxed{108.90}.
