Answer 1

Answer:

Total earning in the summer = $1440

Step-by-step explanation:

Earning per hour for Samuel = $7.50

No. of hours worked in a day = 6

Earning for a day = Earning per hour for Samuel *No. of hours worked in a day

Earning for a day =  $7.50 *6 = $45

___________________________________________________

No of days worked in a week by Samuel = 4

Earning for week = Earning for a day *No of days worked in a week by Samuel

Earning for week =  $45*4 = $180

_____________________________________________________

No. of weeks worked in summer = 8

Total earning in the summer = Earning for week *No. of weeks worked in summer

Total earning in the summer =  $180*8 = $1440  (Answer)
