Question

Harold earns $10.50 per hour working at a doctor's office. On Monday he spent 1 5/12 hours filing paperwork, 1 3/4 sending emails and 2 1/3 hours making appointments. What were Harold's earnings? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

the total earnings is $58

Explanation:

The computation of earnings is shown below:

= Time spent in filling paperwork + time spent in sending emails + time spent in making appointments

= (1 5 ÷ 12 × $10.50) + (1 3 ÷ 4 × $10.50) + (2 1 ÷ 3 × $10.50)

= 14.875 + 18.375 + 24.50

= $57.75

Hence, the total earnings is $58
