Question

Amanda Roberts works a Monday through Friday work week at a rate of $8.75 per hour. She takes a 1- hour lunch break. If she clocks in each day at 8:45 am and leaves at 5:15 pm, what is her total pay for the week?

Answer 1

Answer:

$328.13

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the amount of time she works every day.

Between 8:45 and 5:15, there are 8.5 hours.

Subtract 1 for her lunch break, so there are 7.5 hours worked every day

Then, calculate how much she gets every day:

7.5(8.75)

= $65.625

Multiply this by 5 to find her pay for the week:

65.625(5)

= $328.13 is her total pay for the week
