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?

How much does Bob get paid? ** First find the total increase in Bob's earnings: $0.50/hour * 40 hours/week = $<<0.50*40=20>>20/week
How much does Bob's housing benefit decrease? ** Then find the weekly decrease in Bob's housing assistance: $60/month / 4 weeks/month = $<<60/4=15>>15/week
How much more will Bob actually earn a week if his housing benefit is reduced by $60/month? ** Then subtract the lost assistance from the increased wages to find Bob's net increase in money: $20/week - $15/week = $<<20-15=5>>5/week
