Question

Karen earns 10.50 an hour at the supermarket. How much will she earn after working 8 hours.

Answer 1

To find how much money Karen will earn after working 8 hours at the supermarket, we can multiply 8 hours by the $10.50 that is received as hourly pay. This would look like:

$10.50 • 8 hours = $84.00

In 8 hours, Karen earns $84.00.

Answer 2

Let x be the amount she will earn after working 8 hours

10.50 = 1 hour

X = 8 hours

cross multiply

X= 10.50 x 8

X =84

Therefore Karen will earn 84 after working for 8 hours
