Solutions to Group Work Problems:

  1. $6.25 + $5.75 = $12/hour

    $12(.2665) = $3.20

    $12 - $3.20 = $8.80 per hour after taxes

    $8.80 x 15 hours = $132 weekly

    $132 - 50 - 25 = $57.00​ remaining

  2. Realized income = $132 weekly

    $132(.20) = $26.40 saved per week

  3. 50 - $26.40 = a difference of $23.60​
