Question

Kaylee works at Claire's Jewelry Store at the mall. She earns $7.75 per hour. She earned $93.00 over the weekend. Her final check for the week was $232.50 (before deductions). How many hours did she work in addition to the weekend hours?

Answer 1

18 hours during the week days

Explanation:

weekend pay + week day pay = total pay

93 + week day pay = 232.50

Subtract 93 from each side

93-93 + week day pay = 232.50-93

week day pay = 139.50

She makes 7.75 per hour

139.50 = hours * pay rate

139.50 = hours*7.75

Divide each side by 7.75

139.50/7.75 = hours

18 = hours
