Question

Jenna earns $8.75 per hour working at the mall. If Jenna worked hours 20 1/5 last week, how much did she earn before taxes were taken out?

Answer 1

To find out the amount Jenna earns, you need to multiply how much she earns per hour by the amount of hours she works for.

If she earns $8.75 for 1 hour, and works for 20 1/5 hours, she'll earn:
8.75 x 20 1/5 = 176.75

Jenna earns $176.75 before tax.
