First, multiply 0.55 × 5 = 2.75 ( we multiply by 5 because there are 5 days in a week ) Then, we multiply 0.55 × 1.4 = 0.77 ( we multiply by 1.4 because it said 1.4 times as the weekdays ) After that, we take 0.77 and multiply it by 2, like this 0.77 × 2 = 1.54 ( we multiply by 2 because there are 2 days in the weekend ) Finally, we add 1.54 + 2.75 = 4.29
