Final answer:

Carson Beck earned $155.40 for the week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carson Beck worked 37 hours at Worst Buy and is paid an hourly rate of $4.20. To calculate his earnings for the week, multiply his hourly rate by the number of hours he worked:

Earnings = Hourly Rate × Number of Hours

Earnings = $4.20 × 37 = $<<4.20*37=155.40>>155.40

Therefore, Beck's earnings for the week are $155.40.

a. To determine the total earnings incurred by Carson by being a part-time employee at a certain store, we have to just multiply his hourly rate with the total number of hours that he spent working for a certain week.

That is,

W = ($4.20 /hour)(37 hours)
W = $155.4

Answer: $155.4
