Respuesta :

$2904

Explanation

Step 1

find the value for 22%

remember

[tex]22\text{ per cent=}\frac{22}{100}=0.22[/tex]

so, to find the 22 % of value, just multiply the number by 0.22

Hence

[tex]20\text{ percent of 100= 1100}\cdot0.22=242[/tex]

it means the charge for a week is $242

Step 2

The agency charges 22% of her first three months,

2 months=12 weeks

then, to find the total money the employment agency will receive for placing Amanda in her new job, multiply $242 by 12

[tex]\text{total}=242\cdot12=2904[/tex]
