She is paid $12.00 for each bicycle assembled during a regular work week, $14.00 for each bicycle assembled on a Saturday, and $16.00 for each bicycle assembled on a Sunday. What is her total pay for a week in which she assembled the following number of bicycles? Mon. Tues. Wed. Thurs. Fri. Sat. Sun. 4 7 6 10 8 4 5

Answer 1

$556

Explanation:

4+7+6+10+8=35

35x12=420

4x14=56

5x16=80

420+56+80=556

Answer 2

$556.

Explanation:

So she is paid $12 dollars for every bicycle assembled on a weekday,

paid $14 dollars for every bicycle assembled on Saturday, and is

paid $16 dollars for every bicycle assembled on Sunday.

She assembled 4 on Monday, 7 on Tuesday, 6 on Wednesday, 10 on Thursday, 8 on Friday, 4 on Saturday, and 5 on Sunday.

In other words, she assembled on total of 4+7+6+10+8=35 bicycles during the weekdays. And she assembled 4 on Saturday and 5 on Sunday.

In other words, her total pay is:

`\$12(35)+\$14(4)+\$16(5)=\$556`
