Question

On a construction project, you estimate a total of 80 hours of labor. You will work 40 of the hours. Assistant A will work 25 hours. Assistant B will work the remaining hours. You earn $22 per hour. Assistant A earns $15 per hour. Assistant B earns $10 per hour. Altogether, how much is labor going to cost for this project?

Answer 1

$1,630

Explanation:

Assistant 2 hours: 80-40-25 = 15

YOU: 22 x 40 = $880

ASSISTANT 1: 15 x 25 = $375

ASSISTANT 2: 10 x 15 = $150

880+375+150 = $1,630
