Answer 1

Answer: He is paid $90 last weekend.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount he earns per hour = $6

If he works on Saturday, he is paid time and a quarter .

Amount would be

`6* 1.25=\$7.5`

If he works on Sunday, he is paid time and a half.

Amount would be

`6* 1.5=\$9`

Number of hours he worked on Saturday = 6 hours

Number of hours he worked on Sunday = 5 hours

So, Total amount he is paid last weekend altogether is given by

`6* 7.5+5* 9\\\\=\$90`

Hence, he is paid $90 last weekend.
