Answer: $194.79
Explanation:
It is easiest to approach this question in two parts.
First part is simple - multiply the wage per hour times the number of whole number you have worked. ($12.50)(15) = $187.50
Next you need to find how much you make in 35 minutes at a wage rate of 12.50 an hour. You can set up a ratio to find this out -
($12.50) | (60 min) - (x dollars) | (35 min)
then cross multiply and divide - (12.5 * 35) / 60 = 7.291
This means you make $7.29 for 35 minutes of work.
$187.50 + $7.29 = $194.79 for 15 hours 35 minutes of work.
(this is based on a per minute/hour scale)
