James 4

James, Priya, and Siobhan work in a grocery store. James makes 8.00 per hour. Priya makes 40% more than James, and Siobhan makes 5% less than Priya. How much does Siobhan make per hour?

Final Answer:

S =  10.64

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} J=8.00 \\ {q}_1=100\%+40\%=1+\frac{40}{100}=1.4 \\ {q}_2=100\%-5\%=1-\frac{5}{100}=0.95 \\ P=q_1\cdot J=1.4\cdot 8=\frac{56}{5}=11\frac{1}{5}=11.2 \\ S=q_2\cdot P=0.95\cdot 11.2=10.64 \end{gathered}$$
