To calculate how much you would make in three years working for 9 hours at a rate of $16 per hour, you can follow these steps:
-
Calculate daily earnings:
\[ \text{Daily Earnings} = \text{Hours Worked} \times \text{Hourly Rate} \] \[ \text{Daily Earnings} = 9 , \text{hours} \times 16 , \text{dollars/hour} = 144 , \text{dollars} \] -
Determine the number of workdays in three years:
Assuming you work 5 days a week and there are approximately 52 weeks in a year: \[ \text{Total Workdays in 3 Years} = 5 , \text{days/week} \times 52 , \text{weeks/year} \times 3 , \text{years} = 780 , \text{days} \] -
Calculate total earnings:
\[ \text{Total Earnings} = \text{Daily Earnings} \times \text{Total Workdays in 3 Years} \] \[ \text{Total Earnings} = 144 , \text{dollars/day} \times 780 , \text{days} = 112320 , \text{dollars} \]
Therefore, if you work 9 hours a day at $16 per hour and work 5 days a week for 3 years, you would make approximately $112,320.
