Let's review the terminology. A product is what you get when you multiply two numbers. So, the product of 5 and 2 is basically "5*2," and the product of 5 and 1 is "5*1."
The difference means when you subtract one from the other. So, the difference of 5*2 and 5*1 means "(5*2)-(5*1)". (Note: I put in parentheses to make sure the reader understands that 5*2 is separate from 5*1. 5*2-5*1 is confusing: you might not know what to do first!)
So, "(5*2)-(5*1)" can be your answer, OR you can simplify it further by actually doing the multiplication: "10-5". If you want the answer, just subtract--the expression is equal to 5.
Answer: "<span>(5*2)-(5*1)" OR "10-5" OR "5"</span>
<span>You are given
John Davis’ rate which is $9.75 an hour. It is said that he works for four
hours on Monday, six hours on Tuesday, five hours on Wednesday, five hours on
Thursday, and seven hours on Friday. You are asked to find the gross pay of John
Davis. All you need to do is to multiply the rate to the hour of work.</span>
<span>
Monday: $9.75(4h)
= $39</span>
Tuesday:
$9.75(6h) = $58.5
Wednesday:
$9.75(5h) = $48.75
Thursday:
$9.75(5h) = $48.75
Friday:
$9.75(7h) = $68.25
<span>
To get the
gross pay, add everything and you will get $263.25. The answer is letter D.</span>
