Question

The chief financial officer of Allied Corporation is setting up two production work shift pay schedules. Swing shift workers are to receive 1/12 more pay than day shift workers. If the day shift workers are to receive average pay of $18.36 per hour, what is the average pay for the swing shift workers?

Answer 1

To find the average pay for the swing shift workers, we need to add 1/12 of the average pay for the day shift workers to the average pay for the day shift workers.

1/12 of $18.36 = $1.53

$18.36 + $1.53 = ${data-answer}lt;<18.36+1.53=19.89>>19.89

Therefore, the average pay for the swing shift workers is $19.89 per hour.
