Question

An employee earns $10.75 per hour. Write an equation that represents the total earnings in a week, y, as it relates to time in hours? Use your equation to find the total earnings for a 40 hour week.

Answer 1

40 X 10.75= 430

10.75/2= 5.375 round up 5.38

10.75 + 5.38 = 16.13

16.13 X 10 = 161.30

430+161.30= 591.3
