Question

rita is a nurse. her regular rate is $14.62 per hour. she is paid double-time (two times hourly rate) for holidays. during one week, she worked 36 regular hours plus 8 holiday hours. find her total earning for the week

Answer 1

`(14.62 \cdot 36) + 8 \cdot (2 \cdot 14.62)`

`\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(a\right)=a`

`=14.62\cdot \:36+8\cdot \:2\cdot \:14.62`

`\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:14.62\cdot \:36=526.32`

`=526.32+8\cdot \:2\cdot \:14.62`

`\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:8\cdot \:2\cdot \:14.62=233.92`

`=526.32+233.92`

`\mathrm{Add\:the\:numbers:}\:526.32+233.92=760.24`

`\boxed {760.24 \$}`

`\mathrm{I\:hope\:that\:I\:helped\:you\:!}`
