Question

Nina accepts a job managing a Grocery store, starting with an hourly wage of $14.25, and is expected a pay raise of 15 cents per hour every two months for 5 years. After five years of work, how much will Nina’s hourly wage be?

Answer 1

Since 15 cents are being added on every two months, how many times will 15 cents be added on in a year?

Answer 2

14.25 + 5(6*0.15)

Answer 3

Waiting till everyone replies

Answer 4

6 times

Answer 5

Find how many cents are raised per year, which is 6*0.15, then multiply that by 5, since there are 5 years of work. Then, add that to the original amount to get your answer.

Answer 6

Think about how you can set this up mathematically.
You have 14.25 + some number. That number is .15 times 6 (every two months) times 5 (years)
So you have 14.25 + .15(6*5) or 14.25 + .15(30)
What is 14.25 + .15(30)?

Answer 7

18.75
