Answer:
$125.25
Step-by-step explanation:
8.75*h+11.25*e
h is hours regular pay and e is extra pay for overtime. Since its an extra $2.50 for overtime, add that to the regular pay. Put in the hours:
Simplify by multiplying 8.75 by 8
Simplify by multiplying 11.25 by 5
Add
Since it says how much did each earn, as in individually, leave it as it is (unless regular pay was $2.18 an hour, which would be a rip-off). I'm pretty sure including the number of employees was meant to throw you off.
