Question

If a seamstress is paid $7.85 per hour and works 18.75 hours in one week? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

The answer would be $147.19

Answer 2

Answer:

$ 147.19

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much they are paid per week,  we multiply the hours worked by the  dollars per hour

wages = hours worked * dollars/hour

            = 18.75 hours * $7.85/ hour

             =$147.1875

 We need to round to the nearest cent.    We round the 8 so we look at the 7.  7>5 so we round up.

$ 147.19
