Question

James works in a post office and is paid $8 per hour. Last week, he worked

32 hours and this week he worked 33.25 hours. How much should his
biweekly (every 2 weeks) paycheck be for?

Answer 1

James will receive a paycheck in the amount of $522.

Explanation:

There are 2 ways you can go at finding the answer. The first way is by adding 32 hours and 33.25 hours together to get a total of 65.25 hours. Then multiply 65.25 hours by $8 to get $522. The second way is multiplying 32 hours by $8 and get $256. Then multiply 33.25 hours by $8 to get $266. Finally add $256 and $266 up and you get $522. I hope this helps you!
