Question

If you are being paid $55 for a days work which is an 8 hour shift how much would you get paid if you only worked 6 hours?

Answer 1

You would get paid $41.25 if you only worked 6 hours.

Explanation:

In order to find the answer, first you have to find the amount you are paid per hour by dividing the amount paid per day by 8 hours:

$55/8=$6.875

Then, you have to multiply the amount per hour for 6 to determine the amount you would get paid if you only worked 6 hours:

$6.875*6=$41.25

According to this, the answer is that you would get paid $41.25 if you only worked 6 hours.
