Sara earns $12.75 per hour at her job. She works 18 hours each week. While at work, she parks her car in a garage that charges $10.50 every 3 hours.
After paying for parking, how much does Sara earn each week?
A.$198.00
B.$229.50
C.$166.50
D.$261.00

Respuesta :

C

She earns $229.50 each week, since 12.75•18 is 229.50. If the garage charges $10.50 every 3 hours, and she works 18 hours, she would have to pay $63 for parking. 229.50 - 63 = $166.50 each week.

Answer:

  C.  $166.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate Sara pays for parking is ...

  $10.50/(3 hours) = $3.50 /hour

So, Sara's net pay, after paying for parking, is ...

  $12.75/hour - 3.50/hour = $9.25 /hour

If she works 18 hours per week, her net earnings are ...

  (18 h)($9.25/h) = $166.50 . . . . weekly earnings
