Answer:
a) Number of hours he is paid for = 7.5 hours
b) Total earnings from Monday to Thursday = $442.2
c) Jordan must work 10 hours on Friday to have a total pay of $589.60 for the week
Explanations:
Jordan's earning per hour = $14.74
Starting time = 8 am = 8:00
Daily break duration = half hour = 30 minutes = 0.5 hours
a) Number of hours he is paid for each day
Ending time = 4 pm = 16:00
Number of hours he is paid for = 16:00 - 8:00 - 0.5
Number of hours he is paid for = 7.5 hours
b) How much money does he make Monday to Thursday?
Number of working hours per day = 7.5 hours
Since there are 4 days from Monday to Thursday
Number of working hours from Monday to Thursday = 7.5 x 4
Number of working hours from Monday to Thursday = 30 hours
Total earnings for the four days = $14.74 x 30
Total earnings from Monday to Thursday = $442.2
c) Since Jordan already has $442.2 from Monday to Thursday, If he must have a total earning of $589.60 for the week, then:
Jordan's earning on Friday = (Total earning for the week) - (Earnings from Monday to Friday)
Jordan's earning on Friday = $589.60 - $442.2
Jordan's earning on Friday = $147.4
Jordan's earning per hour = $14.74
Number of hours worked on Friday = 147.4/14.74
Number of hours worked on Friday = 10
Jordan must work 10 hours on Friday to have a total pay of $589.60 for the week
