hello
to solve this problem, we need to work out how much he earns weekly, and then work it up to annually
step 1
calculate the weekly wage into annual wage
he earns $8.50/h and works 40 hours in a week
weekly wage =
[tex]\begin{gathered} 8.50\times40=340 \\ \text{ in 1 year, we have 52 weeks} \\ \text{annual wage =340}\times52=17680 \end{gathered}[/tex]Raggie earns $17,680 annually
he gets fridge benefit of 19% of his annual wage
we need to find 19% of $17,680
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{19}{100}=\frac{x}{17680} \\ 100\times x=19\times17680 \\ 100x=335920 \\ x=\frac{335920}{100} \\ x=3359.2 \end{gathered}[/tex]he gets additional $3359.2 as fridge allowance
we can add up the total to know his total annual wage
total annual wage = wage + allowance = $17680 + $3359.5 = $21,039.2
his annual expense
commuting = $419
uniforms = $560
parking = $430
total expense = $419 + $560 + $430 = $1,409
net wage = gross wage - expenses
net wage =
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{net wage=} \\ 21039.2-1409=19630.2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Reggie's annual wage after expenses = $19630.2
