years

Answer 1

To calculate how much more you will make in 2 years working at a rate of $16 per hour for 6 hours a day, 6 days a week, we can start by figuring out your weekly, monthly, and then yearly earnings.

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

2. **Yearly Earnings:**
Assuming you work every week of the year without taking any weeks off:
\[
\text{Yearly Earnings} = \text{Weekly Earnings} \times 52 \, \text{weeks}
\]
\[
\text{Yearly Earnings} = 576 \, \text{dollars/week} \times 52 \, \text{weeks} = 29,952 \, \text{dollars/year}
\]

3. **Earnings Over 2 Years:**
\[
\text{Earnings Over 2 Years} = \text{Yearly Earnings} \times 2
\]
\[
\text{Earnings Over 2 Years} = 29,952 \, \text{dollars/year} \times 2 = 59,904 \, \text{dollars}
\]

4. **Total Amount After 2 Years:**
You already have $1,202. To find out how much total you'll have after 2 years:
\[
\text{Total Amount After 2 Years} = \text{Earnings Over 2 Years} + \text{Initial Amount}
\]
\[
\text{Total Amount After 2 Years} = 59,904 \, \text{dollars} + 1,202 \, \text{dollars} = 61,106 \, \text{dollars}
\]

5. **How much more will you make in 2 years?**
The amount you earned from work alone, ignoring the initial $1,202:
\[
\text{Amount Made in 2 Years} = 59,904 \, \text{dollars}
\]

So, in summary, you will make $59,904 more in 2 years working at that hourly rate and schedule.
