Question

Hi. I was hoping you can solve this for me. I would be so grateful.

Answer 1

We have

1. The timing shown in the morning is from 8:15 to 12:15, this is the number of hours worked in the morning is 4 hours.

The pay is $13.50 per hour

Therefore, the pay earned in the morning is:

`\begin{gathered} pay=N\text{. hours }* pay\text{ per hour } \\ \text{pay = 4}*13.50 \\ \text{pay}=54 \end{gathered}`

then, the pay earned in the morning is $54

2. The timing shown in the afternoon is from 13:00 to 17:30, this is the number of hours worked in the afternoon is 4 hours and 30 minutes. Therefore, the pay in the afternoon is:

`pay\text{ =4.5}*13.50=60.75`

then, the pay earned in the afternoon is $60.75

The pay per 1 day is:

pay in the morning + pay in the afternoon

`total\text{ pay = 54+60.75=114.75}`

Answer: pay for a day is $114.75
