Question

Sarah works 8.5 hours a day from Monday to Friday and 6.75 hours on
Saturday. If she is paid P 55.25 per hour, how much does she earn in a
week?​

Answer 1

Given,

Monday to Friday working hours = 8.5 hours

Saturday working hours= 6.75 hours

Salary rate = P 55.25 per hour

To find,

The total earning of one week.

Solution,

We can easily solve this mathematical problem by the following process.

First of all, we have to calculate the total working hours of a week.

Total working hours from Monday to Friday

= (8.5×5)

= 42.5 hours

Total working hours of the week

= (Total working hours of Monday to Friday + Working hours of Saturday)

= (42.5+6.75)

= 49.25 hours

Total salary

= Total hours × Rate per hour

= 49.25 × 55.25

= P 2721.06

Hence, her total weekly earning is P 2721.06
