Jordan earns $15.35 per hour. On Tuesday, Jordan clocked in at 7:45AM then clocked out for o break at 12:15PM. He then clocked in again at 12:45PM and worked until 6:00PM. Q. How many hours did Jordon work? b. What was his total pay to be day?

Answer 1

a) Calculate how many hours did Jordan work:

Morning: 7.45Am - 12:15PM

To calculate the difference between times you can do as follows:

He worked 15 minutes till 8 AM

Then he worked from 8 am to 12 pm, that is 4 hours

Then he worked 15 more minutes

So in the morning he worked 4 houes plus 15 minutes plus 15 minutes, a total of 4 and a half hours.

Afternoon:

Starting hours: 12:45 pm

Then he worked from 1 pm to 6 pm a total of 5 hours,

In the afternoon he worked a total of 5 hours and 15 minutes

Add both times;

4 1/2 + 5 1/4 = 9 3/4 hours

He worked a total of 9 hours and 45 minutes.

b) If he gets paid $15.35 per hour, to calculate how much his total pay will be for the day you have to multiply the amount by the number of hours he worked:

`15.35\cdot9(3)/(4)=149.6625`

His total pay will be 149.6625
