year

Answer 1

To calculate how much more you will make in 1.5 years given your hourly wage, hours worked per week, and your current amount, follow these steps:

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

2. **Calculate Annual Earnings**:
Assuming you work every week of the year:
\[
\text{Annual Earnings} = \text{Weekly Earnings} \times 52 \, \text{weeks/year}
\]
\[
\text{Annual Earnings} = 576 \times 52 = 29,952 \, \text{dollars/year}
\]

3. **Calculate Earnings for 1.5 Years**:
\[
\text{Earnings for 1.5 Years} = \text{Annual Earnings} \times 1.5
\]
\[
\text{Earnings for 1.5 Years} = 29,952 \times 1.5 = 44,928 \, \text{dollars}
\]

4. **Calculate Total Earnings Over 1.5 Years Including Current Amount**:
Thus, over 1.5 years you will make a total of:
\[
\text{Total Earnings} = \text{Earnings for 1.5 Years} + \text{Current Amount}
\]
\[
\text{Total Earnings} = 44,928 + 1202 = 46,130 \, \text{dollars}
\]

5. **Determine the "how much more" component**:
The amount more you will make is solely from your earnings over 1.5 years, which is:
\[
\text{Amount more} = 44,928
\]

So, in conclusion, in 1.5 years, you will make **$44,928 more**.
