If you are making $7.25 per hour and work 40 hours a week for 5 days, how much would you get paid every two weeks?

Asked by Rickiesha

Answer (2)

I
think 7.25 is the money you’re making.
Money = 7.25
Hours = 40 hours (equals to 5 days)
In 5 days you work 40 hours so that is equals to 8 hours per day.
Now, we need to find the amount we get if we work in 2 weeks
=> 2 weeks = 10 days
=> 2 weeks = 80 hours
=> that is 8 hours per day in 10 days
Now, let’s multiply 80hours of 2 weeks in 7.25 to get the total amount we get.
=> 80 x 7.25

If you work 40 hours a week at $7.25 per hour, you will earn $580 over two weeks. This is calculated by multiplying your total hours (80) by your hourly wage. Therefore, your biweekly pay is $580.
