Answer 2

Gross pay for each day is 5h + 8 dollars.

Explanation:

Given:

Number of days = 7

Gross pay for 7 day = 35h+56 dollars.

We need to find the gross pay for each day

Also given Harriet earns the same amount of money each day.

Hence

For 7 days = 35h + 56 dollars

for 1 day = gross pay for each day.

By using Unitary method we get;

Gross pay for each day =
`(35h + 56)/(7) = (35h)/(7)+(56)/(7)= 5h+8`

Hence gross pay for each day is 5h + 8.
