10. Example 2 Joe got paid $1500 for a job which took him 60 hours to complete, if Joe got paid by the hour, what would his hourly rate be? 1500 ÷ 60 = $25/hr

29. Example 2 If you get paid $2340 monthly, how much do you earn per week? To convert between monthly and weekly pay: Change the monthly pay into annual pay then convert the annual pay into weekly pay. 2340 x 12 = 28080 per year 28080 ÷ 52 = 540 per week

30. Example 3 If you get paid $1650 biweekly, how much do you earn semi-monthly? Paid $1650 every 2 weeks 1650 ÷ 2 = 825 per week 825 x 52 = 42900 annually 42900 ÷ 12 = 3575 monthly 3575 ÷ 2 = 1787.50 semi-monthly
