Question

Amanda works a Monday through Friday work week at the rate of $11.50 per hour. She takes a 1-hour lunch break. If she clocks in each day at 8:45 am and leaves at 5:15 pm, what is her total pay for the week?

Answer 1

Answer: $603.75  per week

Explanation: 11.50 / 60 minutes = 0.19166666666

                      0.19166666666  x 450 minutes = 86.249999997

                      86.249999997  x 7 days = 603.749999979

                      If you round 603.749999979  to  the nearest hundredth, you        

                      get 603.75.

                      Therefore, Amanda made $603.75 that week.
