James, Priya, and Siobhan work in a grocery store. James makes $7.00 per hour. Priya makes 20% more than James, and Siobhan makes 5% less than Priya. How much does Siobhan make per hour?

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

then u do 7times .2

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

actually do 7 times 1.2

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

that would be 8.4

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

and then multiply 8.4 by .05

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

which is .42

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

and subtract that from 8.4

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

J - $7 / hour P - 1.20 * $7 / hour So Priya earns $8.40 / hour Siobhan = ($8.40 / hour) * .95

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

which would leave u 7.98

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 7.98 in both of you guys solving??

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

ur answer is siobhan makes 98 cents per hour more than james

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

8.40 * .95 = 7.98 we agree jack :-)

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):
