Question

Carl earns $9.25 per hour. He worked 4.75 hours Monday, 2 5/8 hours Tuesday, and 7/2 hours Wednesday for three straight weeks. How much money did Carl earn?

Answer 1

Answer:

Carl will earn $301.78.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carl earns $9.25 per hour. He worked 4.75 hours Monday, $2\frac{5}{8}$ hours Tuesday, and $\frac{7}{2}$ hours Wednesday for three straight weeks.

So, in a single week, Carl worked on Monday by 4.75 hours, on Tuesday by $2\frac{5}{8} = 2.625$ hours and on Wednesday by $\frac{7}{2} = 3.5$ hours.

So, the total number of hours he worked for three straight weeks will be

= 3(4.75 + 2.625 + 3.5) hours

= 32.625 hours.

Therefore, Carl will earn $(32.625 × 9.25) = $301.78. (Answer)
