Answer 1

Answer:
`\Large\boxed{Wage=\$240}`

Explanation:

Given information

Paid = $15.00 / hour

Paid (Last 4 hours) = Doubled the usual pay rate

Total hour = 12 hours

Given expression

Wage = Pay rate × hours except for the last 4 hours + Double Pay rate × 4 hours

Substitute values into the expression

Wage = (15) × (12 - 4) + (15 × 2) × (4)

Simplify values in the parenthesis

Wage = 15 × 8 + 30 × 4

Simplify by multiplication

Wage = 120 + 120

Simplify by addition

`\Large\boxed{Wage=\$240}`

Hope this helps!! :)
