year

Answer 1

To calculate how much more you will make in 1.5 years, let's break it down step by step.

1. **Calculate Weekly Earnings:**
- Hourly wage = $16
- Hours worked per day = 6
- Days worked per week = 6
- Weekly earnings = Hourly wage × Hours worked per day × 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 Yearly Earnings:**
- Number of weeks in a year = 52
- Yearly earnings = Weekly earnings × Number of weeks in a year
\[
\text{Yearly earnings} = 576 \, \text{dollars/week} \times 52 \, \text{weeks/year} = 29,952 \, \text{dollars/year}
\]

3. **Calculate Earnings in 1.5 Years:**
- Earnings in 1.5 years = Yearly earnings × 1.5
\[
\text{Earnings in 1.5 years} = 29,952 \, \text{dollars/year} \times 1.5 = 44,928 \, \text{dollars}
\]

4. **Calculate How Much More You Will Make:**
- You currently have $1,202, so to find out how much more you will make:
\[
\text{More earnings} = \text{Earnings in 1.5 years} - \text{Current Amount}
\]
\[
\text{More earnings} = 44,928 \, \text{dollars} - 1,202 \, \text{dollars} = 43,726 \, \text{dollars}
\]

Therefore, in 1.5 years, you will make **approximately $43,726** more.
