To determine how much Aaron will be paid in his next paycheck after receiving a $1.00 raise, we need to first determine how many hours he works and how the raise affects his pay.
-
Determine his new hourly rate:
- Current rate = $7.25
- New rate = $7.25 + $1.00 = $8.25
-
Calculate Aaron's pay for four weeks:
- Let's assume Aaron works H hours every Saturday.
- Since he is paid every four weeks, he works 4 Saturdays in that period, which leads to a total of 4H hours in four weeks.
-
Calculate his total earnings for four weeks with the new rate:
- Total Pay = New Hourly Rate × Total Hours Worked
- Total Pay = $8.25 × 4H
At this point, we can't calculate a specific number without knowing the value of H (the number of hours he works each Saturday). If you provide the number of hours Aaron works on Saturdays, we can finish the calculation and determine the exact paycheck amount from the options provided.
However, if we assume that his current pay without the raise is outlined as one of the multiple choice answers, we could work backwards if we knew the answer choices were based on averages. Assuming typical hours for a Saturday shift, let's say he works 10 hours.
-
Total hours worked in four weeks:
- Hours: 10 hours/week × 4 weeks = 40 hours
-
Calculate total pay with new rate:
- Total Pay = $8.25/hour × 40 hours = $330
This amount is clearly not one of the options, suggesting the number of hours must be significantly lower.
By trying with fewer hours:
- For example, if Aaron works 6 hours every Saturday:
- Total hours = 6 hours/week × 4 weeks = 24 hours
- Total Pay = $8.25/hour × 24 hours = $198
Still not matching.
- If Aaron works 4 hours every Saturday:
- Total hours = 4 hours/week × 4 weeks = 16 hours
- Total Pay = $8.25/hour × 16 hours = $132
Still not matching.
We would have to pinpoint exact hours or answer. Please clarify how many hours Aaron works every Saturday for the accurate total.
