Casey is trying to decide which employee she wants to hire. One employee works for $20 an hour. The other employee works for $22 an hour, but Casey would also get a $6/hour subsidy from the government for hiring a disabled worker. How much money per week would Casey save by hiring the cheaper employee, if they both work 40 hours per week?

How much does the first employee cost? ** First find the weekly cost of the first employee: $20/hour * 40 hours/week = $<<20*40=800>>800/week
How much does the second employee cost? ** Then find the hourly cost of the second employee after the government subsidy: $22/hour - $6/hour = $<<22-6=16>>16/hour
How much does the second employee cost? ** Then find the weekly cost of the second employee: $16/hour * 40 hours/week = $<<16*40=640>>640/week
How much money per week would Casey save by hiring the cheaper employee, ** Then subtract the smaller weekly cost from the bigger weekly cost to find the difference: $800/week - $640/week = $<<800-640=160>>160/week
