Question

You have a part-time job at a deli and work 12 1/2 hours in one week you earn $6.50 per hour how much money do you earn each week explain

Answer 1

You would earn $81.25 per week.

Step by step process:

1 hour = $6.50 ( per hour means what you would get in an hour's time.)

12 1/2 = x

If more less divides. Let x be the subject. ( 12 1/2 is the same as 12.5 or 25/2)

x = 12.5 hours × $6.50 / 1 hour ( 1 hour will cancel out 12.5 hours 12.5 times.)

x= 12.5 × $6.50

x = $81.25
