Question

Paul is a carpenter and earns $21.50 per hour. Last week Paul worked 40 hours, what is

Paul's gross pay?

Answer 1

Answer: $860 this week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Paul worked 40 hours this week, and makes 21.50 dollars an hour. Gross pay means the amount of money paid before taxes.

So we don't need to calculate any taxes, which means all we need to do is multiply 21.50 by 40 hours, since he makes 21.50 an hour, and he worked 40 hours.
