Latifah makes $12 per hour. She works 18 hours per week. She calculates that in 4 weeks, she will earn $864. If her hourly rate and weekly hours are rounded to the nearest ten, which amount represents an estimate of the amount she will make over 4 weeks? Is her original calculation reasonable?

Accepted Solution

A:
here is the steps to figure it out with the answer:Β 
she makes $216 per week. If her hourly rate and weekly hours are rounded to the nearest tenth then it would make her weekly pay $200. Her hourly pay is now $10 and her weekly hours are 20. Now multiply the 20 (weekly hours) by 4 (which would be 4 weeks) 20x4= 80. So 80 hours in 4 weeks. Now her hourly pay is $12 rounded to the nearest tenth = $10 per hour. SOOO the $10 multiplied with the 80= $800 in 4 weeks.Β
