Question

Dexter earns $12.50 each hour he helps his dad with landscaping.he helped his dad for 4.5 hours last weekend .How much did dexter make helping his dad last week?

Answer 1

$56.25

Explanation:

for every hour Dexter worked with his dad he made $12.50 since he worked with him 4.5 hours we have to multiply 12.50*4.5 or if easier add 12.5 four and a half time 12.5+12.5+12.5+12.5= 50 + 6.25 ( which is half of $12.50 because he only worked half an hour) = $56.25
