Answer 1

Luke will earn a total of $418.50 on Saturday by completing three separate jobs with a combination of hourly earnings and flat rate service fees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves calculating the total earnings for Luke, a locksmith, on a particular Saturday. Luke gets paid an hourly rate plus a flat service fee for each job.

First, we need to calculate the total hours Luke works on Saturday:

• Job 1: 1 ½ hours
• Job 2: ¼ hour
• Job 3: 1 ¼ hours

Add these up to find the total hours worked:

1 ½ + ¼ + 1 ¼ = 3 hours

Next, calculate Luke's total hourly earnings:

3 hours × $64.50/hour = $193.50

Now, add the flat rate service fee for each job:

3 jobs × $75/job = $225

Finally, add the total hourly earnings and the flat rate fees to find the total earnings:

$193.50 + $225 = $418.50

Luke will earn $418.50 on Saturday.
