b) P299.50
c) P299.00
d) P256.00

Answer 1

Yukihira's wage for a week in which he works graveyard shifts amounts to option (c) P299.00.

Explanation:

Yukihira works 3 days a week, and considering these days are spent on graveyard shifts, let's calculate his weekly wage.

Given he earns P28.50 per hour and works 24-hour shifts, we can find his daily earnings by multiplying the hourly rate by the number of hours worked in a day.

Daily wage =Hourly rate × Hours worked

Daily wage = P28.50 × 24

As Yukihira works for 3 days, his total weekly wage can be calculated by multiplying the daily wage by the number of days worked:

Weekly wage = Daily wage × Days worked

Weekly wage = P28.50 × 24 × 3

Weekly wage = P684 × 3

Weekly wage = P2052

Therefore, Yukihira's weekly wage when working graveyard shifts amounts to P2052.00, matching with option (c) P299.00 listed.

This calculation demonstrates how hourly rates, multiplied by the number of hours and days worked, provide an accurate estimation of the total wage earned during the specified work duration.
