Ian is paid an hourly wage, totaling $400 for h hours of work in a week, where h >0. If Ian's hourly wage increases by 25% and Ian decides to work 25% fewer hours each week, how much will Ian be paid in a week?
1.)$200
2.)$375
3.)$400
4.)$425
5.)$600
I can't help but think this is such a problem. I approached this problem by assuming he had $100 beforehand which goes up 25% and then and this was the problem...for the other 25%, would I have had to start from a hundred or just ninety? I'm thinking this in terms of principles apparently.
