Mrs. Rodger got a weekly raise of $145. If she gets paid every other week, write an integer describing how the raise will affect her paycheck. @TheSmartOne

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Isn't it just $145 haha

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

^ ikr x'D

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

I mean I don't really see what's so hard

pooja195 (pooja195):

o.O it is?

pooja195 (pooja195):

"write an integer describing how the raise will affect her paycheck."

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

How can you write an integer to "describe how the raise will affect her paycheck."

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

If she's getting a raise of 145 per week then it's just an increase of 145

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

thats your integer

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

wait no

pooja195 (pooja195):

.-. lol i feel dumb xD

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

She gets paid every other week

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

so the integer has to be 145 x 2 = 290

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

every other week, not next week @TheSmartOne

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

@AlexandervonHumboldt2 "If she gets paid every other week, write an integer describing how the raise will affect her paycheck."

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

gosh it is impossbile

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

She just gets paid every other week, that does not affect how much she makes in the week, it's pretty tricky I guess, so it's still 145.

pooja195 (pooja195):

Thanks guys lol this was a stupid question ;p

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

It's actually really simple they just put other words to trick you haha, it's silly

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Because you're looking at how the `raise` will affect the paycheck otherwise you could just have a series solution if you keep adding 145 xD I doubt it's that complex

pooja195 (pooja195):

Ah ok :) thanks for clearing that up! ^-^
