Question

During the summer, Alex earns some money mowing his neighbors' lawns. He is being paid $6.00 per hour. In June, he worked 11 hours. In July, he worked 19 hours. How much money did he earn in June and July altogether?

Answer 1

$180

Explanation:

Alex gets paid for $6.00 PER hour

In June:

Alex worked for 11 hours.

In July:

19 hours.

You can do 19*6.00 (Lets just do 19*6 for now to make it easier)

19*6=114

Change it to $144.00

In June:

You can do 11*$6.00. '(Lets just do 11*6 for now to make it easier)

11*6=66.

Change it to $66.00

Add the money Alex earned.

June + July= $66+144=$180
