Answer 1

72

Explanation:

Answer 2

Total Earned Saturday: $45

Total Earned Sunday: $63

Total: $108

Explanation:

Time and a quarter means that you divide his normal rate by 4 and add that to his normal rate:

9/4 = 2.25 2.25 + 9 = 11.25

Jarvis makes $11.25 an hour on Saturdays. Since he worked 4 hours, you multiply 11.25 x 4 = 45.

Time and three quarters means that you multiply his normal rate by 3/4 and add that to his normal rate:

9x0.75 = 6.75 6.75 + 9 = 15.75

Jarvis makes $15.75 an hour on Sundays. Since he worked 4 hours, you multiply 15.75 x 4 = 63.

To get the total, you add his earnings on Saturday and earnings on Sunday:

45 + 63 = 108.
