Question

if i make 16 dollars an hour, and i work 6 hours 6 days a week and have 19,980, how much more will i make 6 months

Answer 1

To calculate how much you'll make in 6 months, first we need to determine your weekly earnings.

1. **Calculate Weekly Earnings:**
\[
\text{Weekly Earnings} = \text{Hourly Wage} \times \text{Hours Worked per Day} \times \text{Days Worked per Week}
\]
\[
\text{Weekly Earnings} = 16 \, \text{dollars/hour} \times 6 \, \text{hours/day} \times 6 \, \text{days/week} = 576 \, \text{dollars/week}
\]

2. **Calculate Earnings for 6 Months:**
There are typically about 4.33 weeks in a month, so in 6 months there are approximately \(6 \times 4.33\) weeks:
\[
\text{Total Weeks} = 6 \, \text{months} \times 4.33 \, \text{weeks/month} \approx 26 \, \text{weeks}
\]

Now, multiply your weekly earnings by the number of weeks:
\[
\text{Total Earnings in 6 Months} = \text{Weekly Earnings} \times \text{Total Weeks}
\]
\[
\text{Total Earnings in 6 Months} = 576 \, \text{dollars/week} \times 26 \, \text{weeks} = 14,976 \, \text{dollars}
\]

3. **Add Current Savings:**
You already have $19,980. After 6 months, you will have your current savings plus your earnings:
\[
\text{Total after 6 months} = 19,980 + 14,976 = 34,956 \, \text{dollars}
\]

So, after 6 months, you will have approximately $34,956.

If you're only looking for how much more you will make in the next 6 months, the answer is **$14,976**.
