Respuesta :

This question shows you how to determine the amount of money Mr. Leonard makes in 4 weeks.  It takes his total salary, divides it by 52 (there are 52 weeks in a year), then multiplies it by 4 (you need 4 weeks worth of pay). 

This amount is shown as $6769.24.

He must pay the agency 22% of this, so change 22% to 0.22 and multiply it by the amount he makes in 4 weeks.

0.22 x 6769.24 = $1489.23

Mr. Leonard must pay the agency $1489.23 after the first 4 weeks.
  • 88 × 1,000 = 88,000
  • 88,000 ÷ 52 = $1,692.31.
  • 4*1,692.31 = $6,769.24.
  • 6,769.24 × 0.22 ≈ $1,480
  • Mr. Leonard must pay the agency $1,480.

This question is solved by proportions.

We have that:

  • The job pays $88K = $88,000 per year.
  • A year has 52 weeks.
  • He must pays 22% of the salary of his first four weeks.
  • To find how much he needs to pay, we first find his weekly salary, then find his salary for four weeks and then 22% of this, completing the spaces.

--------------

First space:

We multiply 88 and 1000, to find his yearly salary in dollars.

88 × 1,000 = 88,000

---------------

Second space:

Dividing by 52, we find his weekly salary.

88,000 ÷ 52 = $1,692.31.

---------------

Third space:

Multiplying his weekly salary by 4, we find his salary for four weeks.

4*1,692.31 = $6,769.24.

---------------

Fourth and fifth space:

Multiplying his salary of 4 weeks, $6,769.24, by 0.22, we find how much he has to pay the agency. So

0.22*6729.24 = $1,480.

6,769.24 × 0.22 ≈ 1,480

Mr. Leonard must pay the agency $1,480.
