Question

You get paid $1.50 for every box you make. On day 1 you make 10 boxes, day 2 you make 4 boxes, day 3 you make 15 boxes and day 4 you make 8 boxes. What is your total pay?

Answer 1

To calculate the total pay, multiply the number of boxes made each day by the payment rate of $1.50 per box and then sum up the results. The total pay in this case is $55.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total pay, you need to multiply the number of boxes made each day by the payment rate of $1.50 per box and then sum up the results.

Day 1: 10 boxes x $1.50 per box = $15

Day 2: 4 boxes x $1.50 per box = $6

Day 3: 15 boxes x $1.50 per box = $22.50

Day 4: 8 boxes x $1.50 per box = $12

Total pay = $15 + $6 + $22.50 + $12 = $55.50

Answer 2

You times 1.50 by how much you sold a day. So 1.50 times 10 you make $15. Then you do that for each day. Then when you find how much a day add all the prices up. So your answer would be 55.50.
