Question

4. You work in the upholstery department of a furniture factory.

Answer 1

Answer:

a. $1360

b. $8.50 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

5 couches upholstered, each 105 equals 5 * 105 = 525

6 loveseats upholstered, each 85 equals 6 * 85 = 510

5 chairs upholstered, each 65 equals 5 * 65 = 325

Hence, total pay = 525 + 510 + 325 = $1360

b.

To find hourly rate, we take total amount and divide it by number of hours.

1360/160 = $8.5 per hour

Hence, hourly rate is $8.50 per hour
