Answer 2

You are given John Davis’ rate which is $9.75 an hour. It is said that he works for four hours on Monday, six hours on Tuesday, five hours on Wednesday, five hours on Thursday, and seven hours on Friday. You are asked to find the gross pay of John Davis. All you need to do is to multiply the rate to the hour of work.

Monday: $9.75(4h) = $39
Tuesday: $9.75(6h) = $58.5
Wednesday: $9.75(5h) = $48.75
Thursday: $9.75(5h) = $48.75
Friday: $9.75(7h) = $68.25

To get the gross pay, add everything and you will get $263.25. The answer is letter D.
