Answer 1

To find Bobby's total earnings, multiply his hourly rate by the hours worked and add the commission. The calculation is $9.25 per hour times 32.46 hours, plus $28.75 commission, which equals $328.755.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student asked how much money Bobby earned last week. To calculate Bobby's total earnings, we first need to multiply the number of hours he worked by his hourly rate, and then add his commission. Bobby's hourly rate is $9.25 and he worked 32.46 hours, so his earnings from hours worked is:

32.46 hours × $9.25 per hour = $300.255

Bobby also earned $28.75 in commission. Therefore, his total earnings are calculated as follows:

$300.255 from hours worked + $28.75 commission = $328.755

Bobby earned a total of $328.755 last week.
