Sarah borrowed $29.96 from her uncle and promised to work in his store at $2.60 per hour until the dept was paid. She worked 6 hours on Saturday, 1 3/4 hours on Monday and 1 1/2 hours on Tuesday. How much more money does she still owe to her uncle?

Answer 1

Answer: $5.91

Explanation:

Total borrowed = $29.96

Amount earned on Saturday

6 hours x $2.60 = $15.60

Amount earned on Monday

1 3/4 is the same as 1.75

1.75 hours X $2.60 = $4.55

Amount earned on Tuesday

1 1/2 is the same as 1.50

1.50 hours x $2.60 = $3.90

Total amount earned from Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday

$15.60 + $4.55 + $3.90 = $24.05

Amount Sarah owes her uncle

$29.96 borrowed

$24.05 earned

$29.96 - $24.05 = $5.91

Sarah owes $5.91.
