Question

Calculate the pay for the following day of a weekly time card given a wage of $12/ (round your answer to the nearest hundredth)

Answer 1

A day of a weekly time card is given. It is required to find the pay for the day given a wage of $12/hr.

To do this, calculate the number of hours worked for the day and multiply by the wage per hour.

It is given that the person worked in the morning from 08:15 to 12:15.

The difference gives the number of hours worked in the morning:

`12:15-8:15=4\text{ hours}`

It is also given that the person worked in the afternoon from 13:00 to 17:30.

The difference gives the number of hours worked in the afternoon:

`17:30-13:00=4\text{ hours }30\text{ mins.}=4.5\text{ hours}`

Hence, the total number of hours worked for the day is:

`4+4.5=8.5\text{ hours}`

Multiply this by the wage earned per hour to get the pay for the day:

`8.5*12=102`

Hence, the pay for the day is $102.
