Question

Alfredo is employed on an assembly line. He receives 35 cents for each part that he works on. If he works on more than 150 parts, his employer will pay him 40 cents for each part over 150. Yesterday, Alfredo worked on 210 parts. How much did he earn?

SHOW ALL WORK

Answer 1

$76.50

Explanation:

Let's split this up.

First, we will do the 150 parts. But, we need to subtract so that we know how many parts he worked on over 150.

So...

210-150=60

Now that we know how many parts he worked on over 150, let's multiply.

.35*150=52.50

Now, let's multiply what he did over 150.

.40*60=24

Finally, we have to add his pay up.

52.50+24.00=76.50

Making your answer...

$76.50

Hope this helps!!!
