seal the cartons, and stack them on pallets.

Monday through Friday you are paid $0.78 for each carton you fill.

On Saturday you are paid an additional$0.38 for each carton you fill.

Thurs-160
Fri-216
Sat-90

Answer 1

$872.70

Explanation:

Add all numbers from Mon-Fri.

So 985.

Multiply it by 0.78

So $768.30

Add 0.78 and 0.38

So 1.16

Then multiply 90 by 1.16

So $104.40

Then add the two numbers.

768.30+104.40

So $872.70

Hope this helps
