Question

Erika worked 18 hours last week and 20 hours this week. If she earns $6 per hour, how much did she earn these two weeks?

Answer 1

Hello!

Let's multiply our two hours by 6.

18(6)=108

20(6)=120

Now we add these two.

120+108=228

Therefore, she earned $228.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Hi!

If she worked 18 hours last week and 20 hours this week, then she worked 38 hours in total, because 18 + 20 = 38.

If she earns $6 per hour, and she worked for 38 hours, then she got 38 sets of 6, which you can find the answer to by multiplying 38 and 6.

This is essentially 6 + 6 + 6 +...

38 * 6 = $228

So she earned $228 these two weeks.

Hope this helped!
