Answer 2

Answer: they earned $353 in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

At state fair 4 employees were paid $8.18 an hour. They worked for 10 hours at regular price. It means that the regular pay that each of the employee got was

8.18 × 10 = $81.8

The also worked overtime for 3 hours and the over time price is $2.18 per hour. This means that the amount that each got paid for working overtime is

3 × 2.18 = $6.54

The total amount that each employee earned is

81.8 + 6.54 = $88.25

Therefore, the total amount that the 4 employee earned is

88.25 × 4 = $353
