Answer:

$102

Explanation:

The pay for the day of work is the total of morning hours worked and afternoon hours worked. In each case, the hours worked is the difference between the "Out" time and the "In" time.

morning hours = 12:15 -8:15 = 4:00

afternoon hours = 17:30 -13:00 = 4:30

total hours worked = morning hours + afternoon hours

total hours worked = 4:00 +4:30 = 8:30

This notation tells you (hours):(minutes). You know that 30 minutes is 1/2 hour, so the total time worked is 8 1/2 hours.

The pay is the product of the hours worked and the pay per hour:

pay = (8 1/2 hours) × ($12 /hour) = $102
