Bob gets rent assistance because he's low-income. If he gets a raise of $0.50/hour and works 40 hours a week, how much more will he actually earn a week if his housing benefit is reduced by $60/month?
First find the total increase in Bob's earnings: $0.50/hour * 40 hours/week = $
<gadget id="calculator">0.50*40</gadget>
<output>20</output>
20/week.
Then find the weekly decrease in Bob's housing assistance: $60/month / 4 weeks/month = $
<gadget id="calculator">60/4</gadget>
<output>15</output>
15/week.
Then subtract the lost assistance from the increased wages to find Bob's net increase in money: $20/week - $15/week = $
<gadget id="calculator">20-15</gadget>
<output>5</output>
5/week.
