Question

John has a part-time job. He is paid £6.80 per hour. This week he worked for 9 1/2 hours. Work out john's total pay for this week.

Answer 1

9.5*6.80=64.6
the answer is 64.6 pounds

Answer 2

His total pay would be £ 64.60

Explanation:

Given,

The payment of john for an hour = £ 6.80,

The number of hours he worked =
`9(1)/(2)` =
`(19)/(2)`

Hence, his total payment = One hour payment × Number of working hours

`=6.80* (19)/(2)`

`=(129.20)/(2)`

= £ 64.60
