Question

what is the total pay for 12 hours of work at a base rate of p per hour plus a temporary raise of $2.50 per hour?

Answer 1

12(p+2.5)

Since he makes p + 2.5 per hour, and he is working for 12 hours, the above is how you would express it as a formula.

Answer 2

Answer:

$ 12(p+2.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: base rate of pay is  p per hours plus a temporary raise of $2.50 per hour.

To Find: total pay for 12 hours of work

Solution:

Total hours for which work is done = $12$ $\text{hours}$

base rate of payment =   $\text{p}$ per $\text{hours}$

temporary raise = $\text{2.50 per hour}$

Total rate of payment = $\ (p+2.5)$

Total pay = $\text{total time work done}\times\text{total pay rate}$

putting values

              = $12(\text{p+2.5})$

therefore,

Total pay for 12 hours of work is $12(\text{p+2.5})$
