time job making $8. 00 per hour. Fernando offers to pay you $15 per hour for the first month and then increase your hourly rate by $1. 00 each month.

Amelia says she will start your pay at $8. 00 per hour but she will increase your hourly rate by 10% each month. In order to make the best decision,

you decide to use the mathematics to choose the best offer based on the best hourly wage per month
