Question

Maria worked 5.1 hours on Monday and 7.35 hours on Tuesday. She gets paid $9.20 an hour. How much, in dollars, did Maria earn this week

Answer 1

105.34 and you would first add the hours together so 5.1 + 7.35= 11.45 then you would multiple $9.20 X 11.45= 105.34

Answer 2

$114.54

Explanation:

In order to answer this question, we are going to have to do some multiplication :)

First, we will find out how much Maria got paid on Monday. In order to find this, we must multiply 5.1 hours by $9.20, so

5.1 * 9.20 = 46.92

We will be using this number a little later. Next, we have to find out how much Maria got paid on Tuesday, so we have to multiply 7.35 hours by $9.20, so

7.35 * 9.20 = 67.62

Now, we will combine the numbers:

67.62 + 46.92 = 114.54

Therefore, Maria earned $114.54 this week

Hope this helps :)
