At Joes Steakhouse the hourly wage for a chef is 20% greater than that of a dishwasher, and the hourly wage of a dishwasher is half as much as the hourly wage of a manager. If a managers wage is $8.50 per hour, how much less than a manager does a chef earn each hour?

• Chef earns $3.40 less than manager each hour.
  
  Manager wages per hour = $8.50
  Dishwasher wages per hour = half of manager's wages. = 1/2($8.50) ==> $4.25
  Chef wages per hour = 20% greater than Dishwasher wages
  --> 20% of $4.25 = (20*($4.25)) /100
  --> ($85)/100
  --> $0.85
  Therefore,
  Chef wages per hour = $4.25 + $0.85 ==> $5.10
  
  Difference of wages between manager and chef = $8.50 - $5.10 ==> $3.40

• initially assume dishwasher wage=100
  chief wage=120(is given)
  manager earns 200 for given condition. So
  
  200------8.50
  120------ ?
  =$5.10
  the difference =>8.50-5.10=3.40

• ans.$3.40
  manager=&8.50
  dishwasher=8.40/2=4.25
  chef=20%ofmanager(greater)=4.25+.85=5.10
  then+ans.8.50-5.10=3.40

  wage of chef= 4.25+ (20/100)*4.25 = 5.10
  diff in wages= 8.50-5.10 = 3.40

• let dishwasher wage is x
  then x+20%=joes wage
  let y is wage of manager
  then y+x/2 wage disawsher
  manager earn 8.50
  then dishasher wage is 8.50/2=4.25
  chef earning=4.25*(20/100)=.85+4.25=5.10
  difference chef and manger wage=8.50-5.10=3.40 ans
