Question

Caroline works in her family restaurant waiting on tables. She is $8.25 per hour for all hours up to 37 in one week and then time and a half for any hours over 37 worked in one week. What would her gross earnings for a week be in which she worked 45 hours?

Answer 1

Answer:

404.25 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we do 8.35 times 37, and we get 305.25.

Next, we subtract 37 from 45 and get 8.

Then, we do divide 8.25 in half, and get 4.125.

After that we add 4.125 to 8.25 and get 12.375.

Then we do 12.375 times 8 and get 99

Finally, we add 99 and 305.25 together and get 404.25 dollars.
