Jamal has just started a new job at a building supply store; however, he has a problem of coming in late. His starting wage is $9.00 per hour, so he should make $72.00 for each 8 hour day he works. But, he comes in 15 minutes late every day. Besides running the risk of losing his job, how much money is he losing each month if he works 21 days in a month?

    Total Loss for Jamal = $189

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Starting per hour wage for Jamal = $9

    number of working hours for Jamal = 8 per day

    Total earning in a day = $9 x 8 = $ 72

    Net earning in 21 days = $72 x 21 = $1512

    Now, If he comes late by 15 minutes each day, the number of hours for which he is going to be paid = 7 hours

    Hence earning made each day = $9 x 7 = $63

    Earning made in 21 days = $63 x 21 = $1323

    Total loss he has to bear = $1512-$1323 = $189

    The money Jamal is losing each month if he works 21 days in a month by coming late by 15 mins = $ 189
