Final answer:

Calvin earned $288 from the first job and $480 from the second job, making a total of $768 from both jobs last week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calvin worked a total of 40 hours last week, with 16 hours at a job paying $18 per hour and the remaining hours at a job paying $20 per hour. To calculate the total amount of money Calvin made, we'll first determine the earnings from each job separately and then sum them.

For the first job:

  • 16 hours * $18 per hour = $288

For the second job, he worked the remaining 24 hours (since 40 - 16 = 24):

  • 24 hours * $20 per hour = $480

Add the earnings from both jobs to find the total:

  • $288 + $480 = $768

Therefore, Calvin made a total of $768 from both jobs last week.
