Question

Carl earned $6.20 per hour and worked 6 1/2 hours per day. What is the best estimate of his earning for a five-day work week?

Answer 1

Carl works 6 1/2 hours per day = 6.5 hours per day
for 5 days that would be

`6.5 * 5 = 32.5 \: hours`
So his earning for a 5 day work week is

`6.20 * 32.5 = 201.5 \: dollars`
