Question

Catalina works part-time at a bakery earning $7.50 an hour. In the last five days, her time

card shows that she worked 3.3, 2.9, 4.0, 3.5, and 2.1 hours.
What is her gross pay for the five days?

Answer 1

Her gross pay is $118.50

Explanation:

Firstly, find out how much she earn in each day :

Day 1 => 3.3hr × $7.50

= $24.75

Day 2 => 2.9hr × $7.50

= $21.75

Day 3 => 4.0hr × $7.50

= $30.00

Day 4 => 3.5hr × $7.50

= $26.25

Day 5 => 2.1hr × $7.50

= $15.75

Lastly, sum up altogether to calculate how much she earns in 5 days:

$24.75 + $21.75 + $30 + $26.25 + $15.75

= $118.50
