Answer:

$224.40

Explanation:

Divide the total Michael earns ($173.60) by the amount he has worked (14 hours), which gives us the number 12.4, or his hourly wage. Add the 0.80 to receive Elena's hourly wage as it's $0.80 more, which gives us 13.2. Multiply that by 17 (the hours Elena will work) and you'll receive $224.40!! Hope this helped and that I didn't make it too confusing lol
