Question

Marry works for 7 hours at $10.25 per hour, how much does she earn ?

Answer 1

Mary works 7 hours.
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
Now, she gets 10.25 for every hour:
1= 10.25
2=10.25
3=10.25
4=10.25
5=10.25
6=10.25
7=10.25

We could add up all of the 10.25's, but multiplication gives us an easier way. 10.25 X 7 = 71.75

Answer 2

Alright, from this problem we know that Marry is working for 7 hours at a rate of $10.25 per hour. That means to find out how much she made, all we have to do is multiple 10.25 by 7 to get our answer of $71.75!
