To find out how much Mike gets paid in his next check, we need to calculate his current hourly rate and then multiply it by the number of hours he works.
Mike works 3 and 1/2 hours every Saturday. To convert this to a decimal, we can calculate: 3 + 1/2 = 3.5 hours.
Mike's current hourly rate is $7.25 per hour. To calculate his current wage for every Saturday, we can multiply his hourly rate by the number of hours he works: $7.25 * 3.5 = $25.38.
Mike gets paid every four weeks, so to calculate his next check, we need to calculate his current wage per Saturday and then multiply it by the number of Saturdays in four weeks.
There are 7 days in a week, so there are 4 weeks * 7 days = 28 days in four weeks. Since Mike works every Saturday, the number of Saturdays in four weeks is 28/7 = 4 Saturdays.
To calculate Mike's wage in four weeks, we can multiply his current wage per Saturday by the number of Saturdays in four weeks: $25.38 * 4 = $101.50.
Since Mike received a $1.00 raise, his next check will be $101.50 + $1.00 = $102.50.
Therefore, Mike will get paid $102.50 in his next check.
The closest option is $101.50, so the answer is $101.50.
