Answer:

$1312.50

Explanation:

You want Emannuelle's net pay if she is paid for piecework and has deductions of $75, 65, and 55. Here piecework pay is ...

  • 1200 pieces at $0.50
  • 750 pieces at $0.75
  • 150 pairs of pieces at $1.15 per piece

Gross pay

Emannuelle's gross pay is the sum of products of the number of pieces and the pay for each:

gross = 1200×$0.50 +750×$0.75 +2×150×$1.15 = $600 +562.50 +345

gross = $1507.50

Deductions

The total of deductions from her gross pay is ...

$75 +65 +55 = $195

Net pay

Emannuelle's net pay is the gross pay less the deductions:

net pay = gross pay - deductions

net pay = $1507.50 -195 = $1312.50

Her net pay is $1312.50 for the week.

Additional comment

We assume that Emannuelle gets paid for 2 cushions when she assembles a pair of chair cushions.
