Bell Ringer:
If you are paid $12.50 an hour, and work 22 hours a week and are paid every other week, how much is your Gross Pay on your check?

Agenda:
I Bell Ringer
II Using Rates
III Investigation

Objective:
Students will use rates to model intersecting functions

Big Picture:
Rates allow you to quantify to different units in term of each other

Stuff:
Rate of pay 12.50 hr weekly rate of pay
12.5*22=275.00
Bi-weekly Rate of Pay
275*2=550.00

Did You Know?
Included taxes in pay checks: S.S, Medicare, Federal and Sate


52.0-38.6(weeks)=13.4

11.4/38.6= About 30% is set aside

Question:
Do you understand how rates are used? If not, what's difficult about it.
