D) $686

Answer 1

Julie earned $410 from her hourly wage and $276 from performing 46 haircuts, resulting in a total of $686 for the week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Julie is a hair stylist who makes $10.25 an hour, and she also earns an additional $6 for every haircut she performs. To calculate Julie's total money earned this week, we'll need to consider both her hourly wage and the commission she earns from each haircut.

First, we calculate her earnings from her hourly wage:

40 hours × $10.25/hour = $410

Next, we calculate her earnings from the haircuts:

46 haircuts × $6/haircut = $276

Finally, we add both amounts to find her total earnings for the week:

$410 (hourly wage) + $276 (haircuts) = $686

Therefore, the correct answer to how much money Julie made this week is $686, which corresponds to option D.
