Answer 1

Geri's gross pay in a week is $139.20, and Jerry's hourly rate is $9.40.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate Geri's gross pay in a week, we need to multiply the number of hours she works per day by the number of days she works in a week, and then multiply that by her hourly rate. Geri works 8 hours per day on Fridays and Saturdays, so she works a total of 8 hours × 2 days = 16 hours in a week. Her gross pay is calculated as 16 hours × $8.70 per hour = $139.20 per week. Therefore, the correct answer is option B) $139.20.

To find Jerry's hourly rate, we need to divide his total earnings by the total hours he worked. Jerry's gross pay for three days was $178.60, and he worked a total of 4 hours on Wednesday, 6 hours on Thursday, and 9 hours on Friday. Therefore, his total hours worked is 4 hours + 6 hours + 9 hours = 19 hours. So, his hourly rate is calculated as $178.60 ÷ 19 hours = $9.40 per hour. Therefore, the correct answer is option C) $9.40.

The gross pay in a week obtained by Geri is B) $ 139.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Geri works 8 hours/day on Friday and saturday each week, which indicates that every week she works for 2 days.

The total hours she works = 2 x 8 hour

Answer:

His Hourly rate = $ 178.60 : 19 hours
