Answer:

$44.20

Explanation:

First, calculate how many hours he worked. From 9:00am-3:30pm he worked 6.5 hours. We're going to multiply the hourly rate, $6.80 by how many hours he worked. Since he also worked an extra half hour and not a full hour we're going to divide $6.80 by 2. Then add both of the calculations up to get the asnwer.

6.8(6)=40.8

6.80/2=3.4

40.8+3.4=44.2

He earned $44.20.
