"Salary by the Point" - Hints!

#1) You need to find ALL possible hourly salaries. There are 5!

#4) Let's think about percents for a minute...
If you have $100, 5% is 5.
If you have $200, 5% is 10.
If you have $500, 5% is 25.
So how could you find 5% of any number?

#5) Suppose you earn $10 an hour. If you work a holiday, you get paid time and a half. That means you make $15 an hour. So let's say you work 20 regular hours and then 5 holiday hours. You would make $10 x 20 = $200 for your regular hours and $15 x 5 = $75 for the holiday...$275 total! (This is a simplified version of the problem you need to solve.)
