Question

Valerie worked 25 hours last week. Her job pays $12 an hour. How much did she earn last week?

Answer 1

25 hours, 12 dollars an hour.

How can we set this up?

25 hours, 12 dollars per hour. So 12 dollars per each hour, adding up to 25 hours in total.

12 (1 hour), 12 (1 hour), 12 (1 hour)..

Or you could do 12 x 25 to find it, just to make things a little more simple. 25 x 12 = 50
250
= $300
