Question

If Sue worked 6 3/4 hours on Monday, 4 hours on Tuesday, 7 3/4 hours on Wednesday, 8 hours on Thursday, and 5 1/2 hours on Friday, calculate her weekly wage at $7.20 per hour.

Answer 1

Answer:

$230.40 is the answer.

Answer 2

Answer: Total weekly cost was $230.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of hours Sue worked on Monday = $6\frac{3}{4}=\frac{27}{8}\ hours$

Number of hours Sue worked on Tuesday = 4 hours

Number of hours Sue worked on Wednesday = $7\frac{3}{4}=\frac{31}{8}\ hours$

Number of hours Sue worked on Thursday = 8 hours

Number of hours Sue worked on Friday = $5\frac{1}{2}=\frac{11}{2}\ hours$

So, Total number of hours in all five days is given by

$\frac{27}{4}+4+\frac{31}{4}+8+\frac{11}{2}\\\\=12+\frac{27+31}{4}+\frac{11}{2}\\\\=12+\frac{58}{4}+\frac{11}{2}\\\\=12+\frac{58+22}{4}\\\\=12+\frac{80}{4}\\\\=12+20\\\\=32$

Cost of her wage per hour = $7.20

Total  weekly wage is given by

$32\times 7.20\\\\=\ 230.4$

Hence, Total weekly cost was $230.4.
