Sure, I can help you with those questions!
1. To calculate the gross base pay, you need to multiply your hourly wage by the number of hours worked. In this case, your hourly wage is $8.60 and you worked for 15 hours. So, the equation will be:
Gross base pay = Hourly wage x Number of hours worked
= $8.60/hr x 15 hours
= $129
Therefore, your gross base pay is $129.
2. To determine which job will earn you more money, you need to compare the total earnings from both jobs. The first job pays $9.25/hr with no additional tips, while the second job pays $5.90/hr with an average of $4.20/hr in tips.
Let's calculate the total earnings for both jobs for an hour of work:
Job 1: Hourly wage = $9.25/hr, Total earnings = Hourly wage = $9.25/hr
Job 2: Hourly wage = $5.90/hr + Average tips/hr = $5.90/hr + $4.20/hr = $10.10/hr
Therefore, Job 2 will earn you more money per hour compared to Job 1.
3. To find out how much more you will earn per hour at Job 2, you need to subtract the hourly wage of Job 1 from the total earnings per hour of Job 2.
Hourly earnings difference = Total earnings per hour at Job 2 - Hourly wage of Job 1
= $10.10/hr - $9.25/hr
= $0.85
Therefore, you will earn $0.85 more per hour at Job 2 compared to Job 1.
1. (15 * 8.60) + (3.25 * 15) = $_______
