Answer 1

The answer is $361.86

Answer 2

Answer: $361.86

Explanation:

Given: Merlin worked these hours during the week:

4.5, 8.75, 9.5, 10, and 4.25 hours.

The total hours he worked =
`4.5+8.75+9.5+10+4.25=37` hours

To find the total gross pay for the week, we need to multiply the rate of 1 hour work by the total number of hours he worked.

The money make in 1 hour = $9.78

Therefore, his gross pay for the week=
`9.78*37`

His gross pay for the week=
`\$361.86`
