Question

- Ansel is a maid at the hotel. He receives tips from the guests at the

ends of their stay. One week he earned $452.67 in tips and $5.23
per hour for 40 hours. What did he earn?

Answer 1

To calculate Ansel's earnings, we need to add up his tips and his hourly wages for the week.

First, let's calculate his earnings from his hourly wage:

$5.23 per hour x 40 hours = $209.20

Now, let's add that to his earnings from tips:

$209.20 + $452.67 = $661.87

Therefore, Ansel earned $661.87 for that week.
