Answer:

36.25

Explanation:

You need to find out how much he makes an hour. To do that you divide how much he made by 13 hours. Which was 7.25. Than multiply 7.25 by 5. And you get your answer which is 36.25.

The same goes for any money scenario when you are trying to find out like how much an individual 'peach' is in the whole bag. Or take it for what you will it was an example.
