Question

Robin, the stadium manager, needs 12 ticket sellers, 25 cleaning persons, and 15 ushers. If these employees will be paid $10.00/hour, $7.50/hour, and $8.50/hour respectively for working an average of 50 hours per month, what is the monthly salary for staff?

Answer 1

Answer: $ 21,750

Explanation:

Given: Hourly wages:

For ticket seller = $10

For cleaning person = $7.50

For usher = $8.50

Average hours = 50 per month

Wages per month= (Hourly wages) x (Average hours per month):

For ticket seller = $10 x 50 = $500

For cleaning person = $7.50x 50 = $375

For usher = $8.50x 50 = $425

Since, Number of ticket sellers =12, Number of  cleaning persons = 25, and Number of ushers = 15.

Monthly salary for staff = 12 x ($500) + 25 x ($375) + 15x ($425)

= $ (6000+9375+6375)

=$ 21,750

Thus, Monthly salary for staff =$ 21,750
