At The Old Job You Made $8.55*10 = $85.5 A Week. At The New Job You'll be Making $6.25(10)+$3(10)= $92.5

Answer:

Your total gross income including tips is $7 more compared to your old job

Step-by-step explanation:

You are paid for 1 hour at old job = $8.55

You worked for 10 hours

So, Income = [tex]10 \times 8.55[/tex]

                   = [tex]85.5[/tex]

So, You earned $85.5 from the old Job for working 10 hours

Now At new job

You are paid for 1 hour = $6.25

You worked for 10 hours

So, Income = [tex]10 \times 6.25[/tex]

                   = [tex]62.5[/tex]

He also gets a tip of $3.00/hr

So, tip for 10 hours = [tex]10 \times3/tex]

                              = [tex]30[/tex]

So, You earned total amount at new Job = $62.5 +$30 = $92.5

So, To calculate  how much more is your total gross income including tips compared to your old job/

⇒ [tex]92.5 - 85.5[/tex]

⇒ [tex]7[/tex]

Hence Your total gross income including tips is $7 more compared to your old job .
