Answer:

$46.20

Explanation:

His earnings: 8.8*7 = 61.6

He gave away 1/4, so he has 3/4 left

3/4*61.6=46.2

Answer:

$46.2

Explanation:

If kevin is paid $8.80 per hour and he worked 7 hours, we need to multiply the hourly pay by the number of hours worked:

$8.80(7) = $61.6

In total I earn the amount of $61.6.

He gave 1/4 of this earnings ti his mother.

1/4 of $61.6 is:


(61.6)/(4) =15.4

so he gave $15.4 to his mother.

what he has left is the subtraction of what he earned and what he gave his mother:

$61.6 - $15.4 = $46.2

He has $46.2 left
