Question

Calculate the pay for the following day of a weekly time card given a wage of $12.50/hr.

Answer 1

The one day pay is $106.25 rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table shown :

• The timing shown in the morning is from 8:00 to 12:15
• The number of hours worked in the morning = 4 hours 15 minutes.

It is given that, the pay is $12.5 per hour.

Therefore, the pay earned in the morning = No.of hours × pay per hour.

⇒ 4 hours × 12.5 = $50

⇒ (15 mins / 60 mins) × 12.5 = $3.125

⇒ 50+3.125

⇒ 53.125

• The timing shown in the afternoon is from 8:00 to 12:15
• The number of hours worked in the morning = 4 hours 15 minutes.

Therefore, the pay earned in the afternoon = No.of hours × pay per hour.

⇒  4 hours × 12.5 = $50

⇒ (15 mins / 60 mins) × 12.5 = $3.125

⇒ 50+3.125

⇒ 53.125

The pay for 1 day = pay earned in the morning section + pay earned in the afternoon section.

⇒ 53.125 + 53.125

⇒ 106.25

∴ The one day pay is $106.25 rounded to the nearest hundredth.
