Answer 1

135.58 i'm pretty sure.

Explanation:

First, I calculated the amount of money he got on Monday. I multiplied. 8.50 x 7 which equals 59.50. Then, I calculated the amount of money he got on Tuesday. I multiplied 8.50 (since that is the number of money he gets paid) to 3.2 (since that's the amount of hours he works). I got 27.200. Then lastly, I calculated the amount of money he got on Friday. So I first I changed 5 3/4 into a decimal. This is 5.75. After, I multiplied 8.50 x 5.75, And got 48.8750. Lastly, I added. I added and got 135.575. So if you round it, it will be 135.58.
