Step-by-step explanation:
2% increase on 1750=
1750 * 1.02 = 1785
1785 per month gives 1785 * 12 = 21420 per year.
Divide 21420 by 48 weeks = 446.25 per week
Divide 446.25 by 45 hours = 9.92 per hour
Multiplication is the process of multiplying. Alicia's earnings per hour for the year 2017 is £9.92 per hour.
Multiplication is the process of multiplying, therefore, adding a number to itself for the number of times stated. For example, 3 × 4 means 3 is added to itself 4 times, and vice versa for the other number.
The monthly salary of Alicia in 2016 was £1750, which was increased by 2% in 2017. Therefore, the salary in 2017 will be,
(100%+2%) of £1750
= 1.02 × £1750
= £1785 per month
Since a year has 12 months, therefore, the earnings for the complete 2017 year will be,
Total Earning = 12 × £1785 = £21,420
As given Alicia worked 45 hours per week for 48 weeks, therefore, the number of hours will be
Number of hours = 45 hours × 48 weeks = 2,160 hours
Now, the earnings per hour can be written as,
Earning per hours = £21,420/2,160 hours = £9.92/ hour
Hence, Alicia's earnings per hour for the year 2017 is £9.92 per hour.
