Question

Kelly works two jobs. She usually works at a retail store for 7 hours during the day and is paid $11.72 per hour by the store. In the evening she works at a restaurant as a manager for 6 hours and is paid $8.96 per hour. How much does she make on average per hour for the day?

Answer 1

$10.44

Explanation:

Day - 7 hours

one hour - $11.72

7 hrs = (7 × $11.72)

Total per day = $82.04

Evening- 6 hours

1 hour- $8.96

6 hours =(6 × $8.96)

= $53.76

Average = total amount of money ÷ total amount of hours worked

= ($82.04 + $53.76) ÷ ( 7 + 6 )

= 135.8 ÷ 13

= $10.44
