Answer:

1st option

Step-by-step explanation:

turn 15% into a decimal:

%15 -> 0.15

multiply $7 by 0.15 then add together:

7 x 0.15 = 1.05

$7 + $1.05 = $8.05

20 hours x $8.05 hour = $161

$161 x 10 weeks = $1610 total by the end of summer

the question does not say how many hours she works normally so the answer might be off...

if she continued with $7, assuming she works 20 hours/week:

20 hours x $7 = $140

$140 x 10 weeks = $1400

$1400 + $200 = $1600 total by the end of summer

Answer:

The first option

Step-by-step explanation:

Current:

[] $7 an hour

[] 20 hours worked a week

[] 10 weeks of summer

First option:

20 hours a week with 15% raise

-> $7 * 1.15 raise = $8.05

-> $8.05 * 20 hours = $161

-> $161 * 10 weeks = $1,610

-> She will earn $1,610 with the first option

Second option:

Normal working with a $200 cash bonus

-> $7 * 20 hours = $140

-> $140 * 10 weeks = $1,400

-> $1,400 + $200 = $,1600

-> She will earn $,1600 with the second option
