Question

Stacy Arrington is paid $.73 for sewing a

jacket collar, $.86 for a sleeve with cuffs,
and $.94 for a lapel. One week she sewed
318 jacket collars, 112 sleeves with cuffs,
and 37 lapels. Find her gross earnings.

Answer 1

Her gross earnings for that week were $ 363.24.

Explanation:

Since Stacy Arrington is paid $ 0.73 for sewing a jacket collar, $ 0.86 for a sleeve with cuffs, and $ 0.94 for a lapel, and one week she sewed 318 jacket collars, 112 sleeves with cuffs, and 37 lapels, to find her gross earnings you must perform the following calculations:

(318 x 0.73) + (112 x 0.86) + (37 x 0.94) = X

232.14 + 96.32 + 34.78 = X

363.24 = X

Therefore, her gross earnings for that week were $ 363.24.
