Ben and Tom both work at a garden centre.
Last week Ben worked for 30 hours and was paid £318.00.
Tom worked for 28 hours last week and was paid £287.00.
Ben is paid more per hour than Tom.
Can you work out how much more Ben is paid per hour than Tom?
Answer:
Ben’s hourly rate = 318/30 = 10.60
Tom’s hourly rate = 287/28 = 10.25
10.60 – 10.25 = 0.35
So, Ben is paid 35 pence more than Tom
