Question

Vince earns $12 per hour at a hardware store. He earns half that hourly rate at a candy store

Last week, Vince worked 8 hours at the hardware store and 6 hours at the candy store. How
much did Vince earn last week and in all?

Answer 1

Answer: In total he earned $132

Explanation:

So you are given that he earns $12 at the hardware store, and that he earns half of that wage at the candy store. This would mean that he makes roughly $6 per hour at the candy store. He worked 8 hours at the hardware store, so you'd multiply 8 by his hourly wage at the hardware store (8x12). He worked 6 hours at the candy shop so you'd multiply 6 by his hourly wage at the candy shop (6x6). 8x12= 96 and 6x6=36 so you add those together to get $132. Hope this helped! :)

Answer 2

$132.00

Explanation:

Vince earns $12 per hour at the hardware store and he works for 8 hours; 12*8=96

Vince earns $6 per hour at the candy store and he works for 6 hours;

6*6=36

Add up the amounts he gained in both stores and it equals to 132.

96+36=132
