Suppose you could spend $7 every hour, night and day. How much could you spend in a year?

Question

I just want to know whats the answer, and how do you get it 

Answer 1

You would want to multiply the amount you could spend x the hours in a day x the days in a year.

 

$7 * hours in a day * days in a year = your answer

Answer 2

If you are spending $7 per hour every hour of the day and night for a year

then you need to find out how many hours there are in a year.

 

(24 hours/day)(365.25 days/year) = 8766 hours/year

 

(8766 hours/year)(7 $/hour) = $61,362 per year

 

This was done using actual days per year as 365 1/4 rather

than calendar year of 365.  If you go with 365 days per year

don't forget that every 4 years you have to add a day ...

The reason we have leap year is that there are actually

365 days and 6 hours in a true year.
