You interview for an exciting job, and they just offered it to you! But before you accept this position, you need to determine how much you will be earning. The formula G=rdh can be used to determine how much money you would make per week (before taxes) G, where r is the rate of pay per hour, d is the number of days worked, and h is the hours each day.

1. You would earn if you take this job, the company would require that you work for 8 hours a day, 5 days per week. They would pay you $15 an hour.

Using the formula, determine how much money you would make each week.

2. The supervisor also tells you that they could arrange for you to work for a salary.

Transform the formula so you can determine how much money you would make per hour.

"You would earn if you take this job, the company would require that you work for 8 hours a day, 5 days per week. They would pay you $15 an hour.

Using the formula, determine how much money you would make each week."

Weekly earnings: (5 days/week) ($15/hour) (8 hours/day) = $600 (hourly pay)

Salary: $600 in 5 days comes to $120 per day, or $15 per hour.
