Math Problem Statement

If you earn ​$681.60 for a 32​-hour work​ week, how much would you earn for a 40​-hour work week at the same hourly​ rate? Question content area bottom Part 1 You would earn ​$

enter your response here for a​ 40-hour work week. ​(Simplify your​ answer.)

Solution

To calculate your earnings for a 40-hour work week, we first need to determine your hourly rate. Here's how:

  1. Calculate the hourly rate:

Hourly rate=681.6032=21.30per hour\text{Hourly rate} = \frac{681.60}{32} = 21.30 \, \text{per hour}

  1. Multiply the hourly rate by 40 hours:

Earnings for 40 hours=21.30×40=852.00\text{Earnings for 40 hours} = 21.30 \times 40 = 852.00

So, you would earn $852.00 for a 40-hour work week.
