Answer 2

$40.95

Explanation:

First we need to find out how much he makes per hour. Take the total amount he makes and divide by the number of hours

Amount per hours = 18.20 ÷ 2 1/3

Change the mixed number to a improper fraction

2 1/3 = (3*2+1)/3 = 7/3

Amount per hours = 18.20 ÷ 7/3

Copy dot flip

Amount per hours = 18.20 * 3/7

$7.80 per hour

Now we want to find out how much he makes for 5 1/4 hours. Take the amount per hour times the number of hours

Total amount = 7.8 * 5 1/4

Change the mixed number to an improper fraction

5 1/4 = (4*5+1)/4 = 21/4

Total amount = 7.8 * 21/4

Total amount = 40.95
