of his earnings toward a new computer. If he makes $13 per hour, how much money does he save for his computer?

Answer 1

First, let's calculate how much Shane earns in total over his 2-week break:

16.25 hours/week * 2 weeks = 32.5 hours

32.5 hours * $13/hour = $422.5

Next, let's calculate how much Shane puts towards his new computer:

25% of $422.5 = $422.5 * 0.25 = $105.625

Therefore, Shane saves $105.63 for his new computer.
