Question

At a factory, a mechanic earns $17.25 an hour. The president of the company earns 6 2/3 times as much for each hour he works. the janitor at the same company earns 3/5 much as the mechanic. How much does the company pay for all three people employees' wages for one hour of work

Answer 1

The company pays $142.60 for all three people employees' wages for one hour of work

Further explanation

Order of Operations in Mathematics follow this following rule :

• Parentheses

• Exponents

• Multiplication and Division

• Addition and Subtraction

This rule is known as the PEMDAS method.

In working on a mathematical problem, we first calculate operation that is in parentheses, follow by exponentiation, then multiplication or division, and finally addition or subtraction.

Let us tackle the problem!

At a factory, a mechanic earns $17.25 an hour

$\texttt{ Mechanic's Wage } = \ 17.25$

The president of the company earns 6 2/3 times as much for each hour the mechanic works

$\texttt{ President's Wage } = 6\frac{2}{3} \times \texttt{ Mechanic's Wage }$

$\texttt{ President's Wage } = 6\frac{2}{3} \times \ 17.25$

$\texttt{ President's Wage } = \ 115$

The janitor at the same company earns 3/5 much as the mechanic

$\texttt{ Janitor's Wage } = \frac{3}{5} \times \texttt{ Mechanic's Wage }$

$\texttt{ President's Wage } = \frac{3}{5} \times \ 17.25$

$\texttt{ President's Wage } = \ 10.35$

Total all three people employees' wages for one hour of work

$\texttt{ Total Wages } = \ 17.25 + \ 115 + \ 10.35$

$\texttt{ Total Wages } = \boxed{\ 142.60}$

Conclusion:

The company pays $142.6 for all three people employees' wages for one hour of work
