Question

Avocado Pickers are paid as shown below. What would be the gross

Answer 1

Answer:

The avocado picker earned $151.44.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that avocado pickers are paid $ 0.10 if they collect from 1 to 500 avocados, $ 0.14 if they collect from 500 to 700 and $ 0.18 if they collect more than 700, to determine what would be the gross earnings for a worker that picks 1,108 avocados, the following calculation must be done:

1,108 - 700 = 408

700 - 500 = 200

500 x 0.10 + 200 x 0.14 + 408 x 0.18 = X

50 + 28 + 73.44 = X

151.44 = X

Therefore, the avocado picker earned $151.44.
