Question

1. Amanda accepted a job through an employment agency. The job pays $1,100 weekly. The agency charges 22%of her first three months pay. How much money will the employment agency receive for placing Amanda in hernew job?

Answer 1

$2904

Explanation

Step 1

find the value for 22%

remember

$22\text{ per cent=}\frac{22}{100}=0.22$

so, to find the 22 % of value, just multiply the number by 0.22

Hence

$20\text{ percent of 100= 1100}\cdot0.22=242$

it means the charge for a week is $242

Step 2

The agency charges 22% of her first three months,

2 months=12 weeks

then, to find the total money the employment agency will receive for placing Amanda in her new job, multiply $242 by 12

$\text{total}=242\cdot12=2904$
