Answer 1

C. $45.35

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the total pay we first have to calculate the pay for the hours worked:

`Payment: (worked hours)(hourly wage)\\Payment= (6)(3.95)\\Payment=23.7`

Now that we have the total that he is getting paid for the hours worked we just add the tips that he earned:

`Total pay=Tips+hours wage\\Total pay= 21.66+23.7\\Total pay=45.35`

So the total pay will be $45.35
