Question

Monica worked 3.5 hours and is paid $10 per hour. How much did she make in 3.5 hours?

Answer 1

$30

Explanation:

She would be getting paid by the HOUR, and she has worked 3.5 hours. If she gets paid every HOUR, that means that she would be paid three times when working 3.5 hours. The answer would be $30.

The person who wrote the question might want $35 dollars as the answer, but logically the answer should be $30.

Answer 2

She would make $35.

Explanation:

If you do 10 x 3.5, you will get the answer of $35.
