Question

Ann works at a store in the mall and earns a wage of $8 an hour. She earns $10 an hour if she works on the weekends. Last week she worked 24 hours during the week and 16 hours on the week

Answer 1

Ann makes $252 this week

Explanation:

To find the amount she made in total, mutliply the rates by the amount of hours she worked at that rate. Start with the weekday rate.

$8 * 24 = $192

Now do the weekend rate

$10 * 16 = $160

Now add the two amounts together

$192 + $160 = $252
