Answer 1

Answer:

Her total pay for the month is $2208

Step-by-step explanation:

A dental laboratory technician earns $14 per hour when she work days and $18 per hour when she works nights.

One month :

She works six 4 hour days

So,total hours = $6 \times 4 = 24 hours$

Three 8-hours days = $3 \times 8 = 24 hours$

Three 10-hour days = $3 \times 10 = 30 hours$

So, Total day hours = 24+24+30=78 hours

Cost of 1 hour day = $14

Cost of 78 hours day = $14 \times 78 =1092$

Five 6-hour nights= $5 \times 6 = 30 hours$

Four 8-hour nights =$4 \times 8 = 32 hours$

Total night hours = 30+32=62 hours

Cost of 1 night hour = $18

Cost of 62 night hour = $62 \times 18=1116$

So, Total pay for month = $1092+$1116 =2208

Hence her total pay for the month is $2208
