Question

what is the total pay for 12 hours of work at a base rate of p per hour plus a temporary raise of $2.50 per hour?

Answer 1

12(p+2.5)

Since he makes p + 2.5 per hour, and he is working for 12 hours, the above is how you would express it as a formula.

Answer 2

$ 12(p+2.5)

Explanation:

Given: base rate of pay is p per hours plus a temporary raise of $2.50 per hour.

To Find: total pay for 12 hours of work

Solution:

Total hours for which work is done =
`\$`
`12`
`\text{hours}`

base rate of payment =
`\text{p}` per
`\text{hours}`

temporary raise =
`\$`
`\text{2.50 per hour}`

Total rate of payment =
`\$ (p+2.5)`

Total pay =
`\text{total time work done}*\text{total pay rate}`

putting values

=
`\$`
`12(\text{p+2.5})`

therefore,

Total pay for 12 hours of work is
`\$`
`12(\text{p+2.5})`
