Question

Henry works at a warehouse where he earns $23.56 per hour. How much money will Henry earn after working for 37 hours and 42 minutes

Answer 1

$888.21

Explanation:

We'll break this problem into two chunks.

First, find the number of dollars Henry gets after working for 37 hours. Since he gets paid $23.56 per hour, all you do is multiply how many hours he's worked (37) by the rate he gets paid (23.56) which gets you $871.72.

Second, adding 42 minutes onto the 37 hours. Since there are 60 minutes in one hour, all you have to do is divide 42 minutes by 60 minutes to get how much of 42 minutes is 1 hour, which is 0.7. Multiply 0.7 by 23.56 (the rate he gets paid per hour) and you have $16.49.

Adding the two sums gets you 888.21 dollars in total.
