Question 242698
Hello, 
There are two ways to do this problem. First off 20% can be written as .2 or 1/5. It's easier to multiply by .2, so it would look like this:
.2 times $7.00 = $1.40 therefore he'll get:
$8.40 per hour
If you were to use the fraction it would look like this:
1/5 times 7.00 will be:
7/5 Since the bar in the fraction means "divided by" we do:
7 divided by 5 = 1.4 or $1.40
