Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Jeni works from 8:00 - 3:15 three days
Taking a half-hour unpaid lunch break each day.
she is paid $15 per hour.
Question asked:
what will be her total earnings before tax ?
Solution:
Numbers of hours from 8:00 to 12 = 4 hours
Numbers of hours from 12:00 to 3:00 = 3 hours
Numbers of hours from 3:00 to 3:15 = 15 min = (converting min into hrs)
Total numbers of hours = 4 + 3 +
= 7 + = 7 + 0.25
= 7.25 hours
Unpaid lunch break = half hours = 0.50 hours
Total number of hours for which she is paid = 7.25 - 0.50
= 6.75 hours
By applying unitary method :
In 1 hour she is paid = $15
In 6.75 hours she is paid = 15 6.75 = $101.25
Therefore, her total earnings before tax = $101.25
