Working out Pay and Spending of Earnings

Students need to calculate how much someone will earn for the hours they have worked, they are then asked to deduct how much they are left with after they spend some of their earnings. In the second part of the task, they are given how much pay a person receives and need to work out how many hours they have worked. Students may need to use a calculator for only part or all of the task. Students have to refer back to previous information given as they work through. This has been developed for functional skills maths at entry level 2 and 3. There is a homework sheet provided.
