Answer 1

To find out how much Jackson will be paid per week, you can multiply his hourly wage by the number of hours he works in a week.

Jackson's hourly wage: $12.50
Hours worked per week: 12

Calculation:
\( 12.50 \times 12 = 150.00 \)

So, Jackson will be paid $150.00 per week.

Answer 2

Jackson really wants a PS5, but he has to pay for it with his own money. He decides to put 65% of what he makes each week into his savings account. If he does that for 6 weeks, how much money will he have saved?(1 point)

Answer 3

First, we already know that Jackson makes $150.00 per week. Now, we can calculate how much he saves each week by taking 65% of his weekly earnings.

1. Calculate 65% of his weekly pay:
   \[ 0.65 \times 150.00 = 97.50 \]

2. Now, multiply that amount by the number of weeks he saves (6 weeks):
   \[ 97.50 \times 6 = 585.00 \]

Thus, after 6 weeks, Jackson will have saved $585.00.

Answer 4

After 6 weeks Jackson decided that he is ready to  make his purchase. He went to Target and discovered that there is a deal this week that when you purchase a PS5 console you can get a controller for 50% off. The PS5 costs $499.99 and the controller he wants is normally $74.99. With this deal, how much will his total be before tax? Round your answer tot he nearest hundredth. (1 point)

Answer 5

To calculate the total cost of the PS5 and the discounted controller, follow these steps:

1. Calculate the discount on the controller:

   • Original price of the controller: $74.99
   • Discount: 50% of $74.99 \[ 0.50 \times 74.99 = 37.495 \]
   • So, the discounted price of the controller will be: \[ 74.99 - 37.495 = 37.495 \quad (\text{which we can round to } 37.50 \text{ for convenience}) \]

2. Add the price of the PS5 and the discounted controller:

   • Price of the PS5: $499.99
   • Discounted price of the controller: $37.50 \[ 499.99 + 37.50 = 537.49 \]

So, the total cost before tax is $537.49.
