Question

Santa worked 3.5 hours, 6.9 hours, & 4.3 hours in the last three days. If he earns $7.1 an hour, how much did he earn in the last three days?

Answer 1

$104.37

Explanation:

To calculate the total profit, we must add the amount he earned each day, multiplying the salary by the number of hours, like this:

`\begin{gathered} e=3.5\cdot7.1+6.9\cdot7.1+4.3\cdot7.1 \\ e=24.85+48.99+30.53 \\ e=104.37 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, he earned in the last three days a total of $104.37
