at a certain company , each employee has a salary grade s that is at least 1 and at most 5 . each employee receives an hourly wage p , in dollars , determined by the formula p = 9.50 + 0.25 ( s – 2 ) . an employee with a salary grade of 5 receives how many more dollars per hour than an employee with a salary grade of 1 ?

the sum of four consecutive even numbers is 36 . find the sum of the squares of these numbers ?
let the four numbers be x , x + 2 , x + 4 and x + 6 . = > x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 36 = > 4 x + 12 = 36 = > x = 6 the numbers are 6 , 8 , 10 and 12 . sum of their squares = 62 + 82 + 102 + 122 = 36 + 64 + 100 + 144 = 344 . answer : c
