Jamaal earns $8.42 per hour. if he gets a 3% raise, how much will he earn per hour? a) $10.94 b) $10.95 c) $8.67 d) $8.68

C) $8.67

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that ,

Jamaal earns $8.42 per hour.

i.e. Original pay per hour = $8.42

If he gets a 3% raise , then his earning is raised by :

Raised amount= Percent of raise x Originla pay

 [We convert 3% = 0.03 by dividing it by 100.]

[Rounded to the nearest cent]

Now, the amount he will earn after raise = Original pay +Raised amount

= $8.42+ $0.25= $8.67

Therefore , he will earn  $8.67 per hour.

hence, the correct answer is C) $8.67

option 1 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x and constant of variation is 4

the equation will be:

y = k/x

where k =4 so,

y = 4/x

if we put values of x of option 1 in the above equation and find values of y

y = 4/-2 => y =-2

y = 4/-1 => y = -4

y = 4/1 => y = 4

y = 4/2 => y =2

so, all the values of x and y are correct.

if we put values of x given in other options and find value of y we cannot find whole table satisfying the equation.

hence option 1 is correct.

answer: options?
