Question

One week, Magan earned $162.00 at his job when he worked for 9 hours. If he is paid the same hourly wage, how much would he make the next week if he worked 19 hours?

Answer 1

First, calculate Magan's hourly wage by dividing his total earnings by the number of hours worked in the first week:

Hourly wage = Total earnings / Number of hours worked
Hourly wage = $162.00 / 9 hours
Hourly wage = $18.00 per hour

Next, calculate how much Magan would make in the next week if he worked 19 hours:

Earnings next week = Hourly wage x Number of hours worked
Earnings next week = $18.00 per hour x 19 hours
Earnings next week = $342.00

Therefore, if Magan worked 19 hours the next week, he would make $342.00.
