Question

Linda earns $9.75 per hour working at a Walgreens. On Monday she spent 1 2/3 hours stocking the shelves, 2 hours working the cash register and 2 1/2 hours doing inventory. What was Linda’s earnings?

Answer 1

Answer:

Linda earns $ 60.125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the pay rate per hour we need to get the amount of time Linda takes to do the work.

Time spent on :

Stocking the shelves = 1⅔ hours

Working on the cash register = 2 hours

Inventory = 2½ hours

The total time taken to work is :

= 2½ + 1⅔ + 2 = 6 1/6 hours.

For every hour spent working Linda earns $ 9.75

For the 6 1/6 hours that Linda works she will earn :

6 1/6 × 9.75 = 37/6 × 9.75 = 60.125

Linda therefore earns $ 60.125 on that particular day.
