To calculate how much you will make in 2.5 years at a rate of $16 per hour while working 6 hours a day for 6 days a week, follow these steps:
-
Calculate the weekly earnings: \[ \text{Weekly Earnings} = \text{Hourly Rate} \times \text{Hours per Day} \times \text{Days per Week} \] \[ \text{Weekly Earnings} = 16 , \text{dollars/hour} \times 6 , \text{hours/day} \times 6 , \text{days/week} = 576 , \text{dollars/week} \]
-
Calculate the number of weeks in 2.5 years: \[ \text{Weeks in 2.5 years} = 2.5 \times 52 , \text{weeks/year} = 130 , \text{weeks} \]
-
Calculate the total earnings over 2.5 years: \[ \text{Total Earnings} = \text{Weekly Earnings} \times \text{Number of Weeks} \] \[ \text{Total Earnings} = 576 , \text{dollars/week} \times 130 , \text{weeks} = 74,880 , \text{dollars} \]
So, you will make $74,880 over 2.5 years.
